'100 Essays I Don't Have Time to Write' by Sarah Ruhl offers a vivid tapestry of reflections ranging from the trivial to the profound, all interwoven with the threads of theater and the rhythm of a playwright's life. The work unfolds as a series of brief but penetrating musings on various aspects of theater, art, and the daily occurrences that stir the imagination of a creative mind. Topics as eclectic as lice, napping in theaters, motherhood, and the intricacies of stools are not only subjects of contemplation but also serve as lenses through which Ruhl examines the broader human experience. Alongside lighter meditations are heartfelt ruminations on the nature of art and the complexities of balancing an artistic career with the demands of family life. Ruhl, with her singular voice, delivers a compilation that is part memoir, part essay collection, and wholly an exploration of the artist's existence.
