Books about crying?
I don't mean books with crying scenes but where crying is essential to the topic whether it's fiction or academic or self help or whatever.

Sam Taylor-Wood's coffee-table photography book 'Crying Men'?

Re: Books about crying?
Crying: The Natural and Cultural History of Tears, by Tom Lutz, written in 1999. I own it but haven't read it probably since 1999 and kind of remember it being it bit of a dry (hah) read. I'd like to go back and take a look at it.
Climbing to a high chamber in a well of houses, he threw himself down in his clothes on a neglected bed, and its pillow was wet with wasted tears. -- A Tale of Two Cities

Re: Books about crying?
I read it more recently - and it's very scholarly and dry. It wasn't nearly what I'd been hoping for.
I just did a Google Search on "Books About Crying" and came up with quite a few. I also got some of those results from Goodreads.com: . Not listed: Crying in the Middle Ages: Tears of History, by Elina Gertsman, published in 2011.
