PostSecret: Confessions On Life, Death, And God (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This book, like all PostSecret books, is a lesson in humanity. It gives insight into the human condition. It makes people feel like they aren't as alone as they thought they were. I bought this book at a PostSecret Live event, and Frank signed it for me. I used my ticket as a bookmark as I was reading it. I feel like whenever I meet someone who's never heard of PostSecret, I should buy a copy of one of these books, and give it to them. Maybe it will help them in a way they didn't know they needed. This was, I think, probably my favorite PostSecret collection so far. The focus on confession made for some deeply effecting works, though certainly not all deal directly with the theme of "life, death, and God." Like other entries in the PostSecret series, these are assembled from submitted postcards consisting of hidden feelings and long concealed memories of participants. The variety is both interesting ; some are heart wrenching, some are simply silly, but all express the human condition. Even if one cannot identify with all of the secrets, it is great to get a little look into how other people process the triumphs, tragedies, and simple joys and annoyances of life. The religious take, from both the faithful and the skeptical, were to me the most interesting. The postcards themselves range from simple cutout printed words pasted to a standard postcard to pure works of art in themselves, again expressing the diversity of human experience. I've enjoyed all of the PostSecret experience, and this really exemplifies what the website project is all about.
