A Capacity for Chaos
A memoir in essays about becoming very good at carrying things, and learning which ones to set down.
E. Wilson · Author of A Capacity for Chaos.
A Capacity for Chaos is about the work of holding too much for too long: the companies, the teams, the family, the grief, the version of yourself you thought you had to be. It is about how we get very good at carrying things, and how hard it is to finally ask whether we should keep carrying them all.
E. Wilson writes from the middle of it, while the river is still rising. Her essays move between boardrooms and hospital rooms, early mornings and late-night numbers, the wins nobody saw the cost of, and the losses that reshaped everything.
The question she keeps coming back to is which of those things were ever hers to carry.
For anyone who became very good at carrying things and eventually started wondering what comes after survival.
