Após o sucesso de Montanha-russa (L, 2003), que ficou em segundo lugar no Prêmio Jabuti/Categoria Contos e Crônicas, chega às livrarias o novo livro de crônicas de Martha Medeiros – uma das colunistas brasileiras de maior sucesso da atualidade. Coisas da vida reúne textos publicados nos jornais Zero Hora e O Globo, entre setembro de 2003 e setembro de 2005.
Há mais de 10 anos, Martha Medeiros iniciou-se na arte da crônica (até então dedicara-se quase que exclusivamente à poesia), e, desde então, vem analisando e descrevendo as manias, as delícias, sofreguidões e anseios de homens e mulheres urbanos e modernos, fazendo um verdadeiro retrato de nossa época. Com a franqueza e com o texto dinâmico que lhe são característicos, relata e explica grande parte das taras, neuras e outros produtos mais e menos louváveis de nossa sociedade consumista e, por vezes, conformista – tudo sempre visto de dentro, pois ela nunca se exclui de suas considerações.
Nas crônicas de Martha Medeiros há espaço para todas as normalidades e todas as "esquisitices" que caracterizam o Homo sapiens modernus: o sentimento de frustração, o tic-tac do relógio biológico feminino, a necessidade de dinheiro versus a necessidade de sossego, mulheres que decidem não ter filhos, o progressivo apagamento das fronteiras entre um e outro sexo, máquinas de provocar orgasmos, choros, filmes, livros e músicas, a delícia e a tragédia de amar duas pessoas ao mesmo tempo, a delícia e a tragédia de não amar ninguém e tantas outras coisas da vida.

Êta autora pra ter uma escrita que te transporta para seu mundo cotidiano! Quando se der conta terá acabado de ler ou irá postergar para que não acabe nunca! A simplicidade do dia a dia é que nos transforma, e esse livro traz isso!

Aprendi a gostar de ler ás crônicas de Martha Medeiros desde que li o livro dela Doidas e Santas. Tem me ajudado muito a escrever ás minhas. É como se fosse o mestre e seu discipulo. Excelentes seus livros. Sempre leio. Isto, são Coisas da Vida.
