Biz gerçek insanların tuvaletle ilgili asıl dertleri, "acaba bu sifon gerektiği gibi çalışacak mı?" veya "buraya şimdi bırakırsam ve o gitmezse ne yaparım?" yahut "Ya tuvalet tıkalı çıkar da bütün banyoyu bir güz öğleden sonrası gibi kahverengiye boyarsa?" iken, bunların dertleri tabii dandik dandik partilerdeki anksiyeteleri filan fıstık. Joe da aslında daha geçen akşam gittiği partideki tuvalette, o aynadan kokaini çeken dalyo sanki kendi değilmiş gibi, hüzünlü hüzünlü dandikliği, mimik oynatmayan komikliği yazmış işte.

The primary purpose of books in the bathroom is to be entertained while you do…less entertaining things. Brosh’s illustrations are a hilariously accurate depiction of depression and the trials of adulthood but they are also just flat-out funny. Whether she’s talking about the dynamic between her two dogs, “helper dog” and “simple dog,” or her need to consume cake at all costs, this book will make you laugh so hard you’ll be glad you’re seated appropriately. A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing but Using the Bathroom as an Escape is a graphic novel written by Joe Pera and illustrated by Joe Bennett. It is a delightful and introspective look into social anxiety and the safe haven of escape that the space of a bathroom provides.All in all, I rate this book five stars. I think we all, social problems or not, seriously need a book like this, right now in our lives. The pandemic has ruined things for us, that's for sure. We barely socialize anymore. Some of us are staying in our houses. Some of us are doing online school. Some of us have lost loved ones. Then De Botton has another strategy to cancel the treaty between his readers and his fictional text disrupting the willing suspension of disbelief. Whenever he feels like interfering in his so-called novel he does so in paragraphs of their own in italics. Thus one can decide to read the "novel" only and discard his authorial thoughts about the action of only read the passages in italics and learn what the author's basic theory about marriage is like, which are not contradictory and irrational and opaque as real life mostly is I am afraid. The cozy comedy of Joe Pera meets the darkly playful illustrations of Joe Bennett in A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape, a funny, warm, and sincere guide to regaining calm and confidence when you're hiding in the bathroom.

And then of course there was always the chorus, interrupting, commenting and reviewing the plot as well. There the stage director is in total command of a stage more or less bare of any but basic props like two ladders, some chairs, etc. and without a curtain. The three acts are birth, marriage and death encompassing the whole of everyman's normal life (if he or she has any children). The most common town, the gathering together of a few homes including even a few strangers and dropouts, "our town" is raised to the standard of what life (and death) is really about. The Greek word "polis" is here all important and relevant. Wilder wants his audience to identify with the two main characters, a young woman called "Emily Webb" and a young man called "George Gibbs" are the secret heroes, the examples of a normal life here on earth. Nothing extraordinary, nothing special of course. This attitude in a play is of course rather new because previously plays showed extraordinary characters, whether tragic of rather comic beginning with King Oedipus, to Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, Macbeth, a Long Journey into Night, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Death of a Salesman (Willy Lowman!) as a possible exception.Joe Pera goes to the bathroom a lot. And his friend, Joe Bennett, does too. They both have small bladders but more often it's just to get a moment of quiet, a break from work, or because it's the only way they know how to politely end conversations.

The fact that novels were given titles before chapters was of course a wide-spread and common tradition at the beginning of the novel as a fictitious piece of writing where the omniscient narrator intervened at will and with great liberty in his or her own narrative context telling what the reader should think and feel at any time.
