The Art of Disappearing


Young, successful and suffering from a crippling anxiety in your twenties: the devastating fear of not being perfect

Sarah is young, ambitious, creative and successful. She is a movie director who travels the world, going from shoots to parties. Her work is her whole life. She wants to matter, to make a difference. She wants to be the best, and in trying to reach her goal, she sleeps and eats less and less but she keeps going. Until she self-destructs. She is twenty-six when she burns out. In the shattering silence that follows, she returns to her roots. Where is that quiet girl from the sticks with the rich imagination?

In wonderfully poetic and powerful language and with devastating insight, Sarah paints an intimate portrait that will resonate with many of us. The Art of Disappearing is about where we come from, who we are and what connects us. And how we can keep our head above water in these hectic, anonymous times.
