Hope and Failure: An Essay Collection (The Wanderings Series)

This anthology explores the themes of Hope and Failure as interpreted by ten new authors. Hope and Failure are so often entwined that these essays are sometimes tragic, sometimes comedic, but always relatable. From the hope of building a home in Costa Rica to planting a garden in the Cotswolds, failures of parenting to being failed as a child, personal failures and systemic failures, failures at work and failures in academia, to the optimism of youth, to defying expectations, and reframing success, this collection covers a vast range of familiar human experiences. For people who enjoy schaudenfreude, but who choose to remain optimistic.

Featuring essays from Ange Dunn, Amy Flett, Glen Harper, James Park, Leighton Peart, Hannah Rumble, Shaina Tranquilino, and Rob White.
