Instead, a month after the release of this book, Amy was diagnosed with cancer. This should have been just another volume in the Amy Krouse Rosenthal collection. Not exactly a memoir, not just a collection of observations, Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal is an exploration into the many ways we are connected on this planet and speaks to the awe, bewilderment, and poignancy of being alive. Because if an author’s previous book has Encyclopedia in the title, following it up with a Textbook would be rather nice.Because for the first time ever, readers can further engage with a book via text messaging.Because textbook is an expression meaning “quintessential,” as in, Oh, that wordplay and unconventional format is so typical of her, so textbook Amy.
Because the book is organized into chapters with classic subject headings such as Social Studies, Music, Language Arts, Math, etc.Why the title Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal? Using her distinct blend of nonlinear narrative, wistful reflections, and insightful wit, she has created a modest but mighty new work. In the ten years since the publication of her beloved, groundbreaking Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, #1 New York Times bestselling author Amy Krouse Rosenthal has been quietly tinkering away. The bestselling author of Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life returns with a literary experience that is unprecedented, unforgettable, and explosively human.
