Como si se tratara de una carta de un amigo en medio de las trincheras, La guía hazlo tú mismo para combatir con la pinche tristeza te acompañará en todas las etapas de tu vida: en las buenas y en las malas.

Like a letter from a trusted friend in the trenches, The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Fighting the Big Motherfuckin' Sad will work with you through all phases of your life, thick and thin.
