Neuware - 15 Bytes Book Award 2021 Independent Publisher Book Awards, Gold Medal Winner In English disparatemeans "different" or "miscellaneous"-apt descriptors of these essays by Patrick Madden. In Spanish, however, disparatemeans "nonsense," "folly," or "absurdity,"-words appropriate to Madden's goal of undercutting any notion that essays must be serious business. Thus, in this collection, the essays are frivolous and lively, aiming to make readers laugh while they think about such abstract subjects as happiness and memory and unpredictability.
