I Don't Have a Happy Place: Cheerful Stories of Despondency

I Don't Have a Happy Place: Cheerful Stories of Despondency and Gloom

When a trip to the therapist ends with the question â€œCanâ€™t Kim be happy?â€ Kim Korson responds the way any normal person wouldâ€”she makes fun of it. Because really, does everyone have to be happy?

Aside from her father wearing makeup and her mother not feeling well (a lot), Kim Korsonâ€™s 1970s suburban upbringing was typical. Sometimes she wished her brother were an arsonist just so sheâ€™d have a valid excuse to be unhappy. And when life moves along pretty decently--she breaks into show business, gets engaged in the secluded jungles of Mexico, and moves her family from Brooklyn to dreamy rural Vermontâ€”the real despondency sets in. Itâ€™s a skill to find something wrong in just about every situation, but Kim has an exquisite talent for negativity. It is only after half a lifetime of finding kernels of unhappiness where others find joy that she begins to wonder if she is even capable of experiencing happiness.

In I Donâ€™t Have a Happy Place, Kim Korson untangles what it means to be a true malcontent. Rife with evocative and nostalgic observations, unapologetic realism, and razor-sharp wit, I Donâ€™t Have a Happy Place is told in humorous, autobiographical stories. This fresh-yet-dark voice is sure to make you laugh, nod your head in recognition, and ultimately understand what it truly means to be unhappy. Always.
