Imagine trying to explain 'solastalgia' to someone who's never heard of it. It's a feeling of homesickness for a place you can't go back to. It's like a longing for a home that's no longer there. Or how about 'limerence', the state of being in love? It's not just a feeling, it's a whole new language.
John Koenig's Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is more than just a dictionary. It's a journey into the depths of human emotion. It's a reminder that words can be powerful, and that sometimes, the best words are the ones we make up ourselves.
