Now Go Out There Summary

Now Go Out There: (and Get Curious) by Mary Karr

A celebration of curiosity, compassion, and the surprising power of fear, based on the New York Times bestselling author and renowned professor's 2015 commencement address at Syracuse University. Being smart and rich are lucky, but being curious & compassionate will save your ass. Every year there are one or two commencement speeches that strike a chord with audiences far greater than the student bodies for which they are intended. In 2015 Mary Karr's speech to the graduating class of Syracuse University caught fire, hailed across the Internet as one of the most memorable in recent years, and lighting up the Twittersphere. In Now Go Out There, Karr explains why having your heart broken is just as-if not more-important than falling in love; why getting what you want often scares you more than not getting it; how those experiences that appear to be the worst cannot be so easily categorized; and how to cope with the setbacks that inevitably befall all of us. Don't make the mistake of comparing your twisted up insides to other people's blow-dried outsides, she cautions. Even the most privileged person in this stadium suffers the torments of the damned just going about the business of being human. An ideal-and beautifully designed-gift for a graduate or for anyone looking for some down-to-earth life advice, Now Go Out There is destined to become a classic.

Now Go Out There Reviews

Karr is a national treasure, that very rare phenomenon: a genius writer who is also a brilliant teacher of writing. Karr's work always breaks my heart, in the best possible way, because of her trademark combination of heart, clarity, compression, and genuine love for, and curiosity about, the human project. -- George Saunders Karr seems to have been born with the inability to write a dishonest-or boring-sentence. -- Lev Grossman, Time Karr could tell you what's on her grocery list, and its humor would make you bust a gut, its unexpected insights would make you think and her pitch-perfect command of our American vernacular might even take your breath away. -- Samantha Dunn, Los Angeles Times
