I thoroughly enjoyed his first memoir "Here for It, or How to Save Your Soul in America". This is even better. Walking through a couple of years pre-pandemic and through Covid, Thomas ruminates on the state of the world, the state of his life and who he is. It sounds very serious but he does it such a down to earth and HILARIOUS way that I laughed out loud multiple times while reading. This book is filled with humor and hope, two of my favorite storytelling themes. ( ) It's very difficult to find a book that can make you burst out laughing and then start crying at various points, but this one is gorgeous and does an amazing job at it. I hadn't read the author's first book of essays, but I definitely need to if it's as good as this one. His love/hate relationship with Baltimore alone is worth the price of admission, but he really does word things beautifully and takes the reader on a fun yet poignant journey with him. Listening to him read his book in audio was wonderful too. An absolute delight. I loved his first book and couldn’t wait to get my hands on the audio of this one. He is so funny, he reminds me a bit of Sedaris. This collection of essays includes thoughts on the pandemic and marriage. He blends humor with serious moments of grief. I loved it. “All of which was to say, the world is so strange and so wild and sometimes so beautiful and I am so many different versions of myself away from you, but I’m trying to share as much of it as I can.” Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"The beloved bestselling author of Here for It presents a collection of heartening, thoughtful, and laugh-out-loud funny essays about the lifelong search for community and returning home. After going viral "reading" the chaotic political news, having one-too-many awkward social encounters, and coming to terms with his intersecting identities, R. Eric Thomas is ready to live his best life. Or, if not, at least his best-ish life. Now, in this collection of insightful and hilarious essays, Eric finds himself doing things completely out of character, starting with moving back to his perpetually misunderstood hometown of Baltimore. They say you can't go home again, but what if you and home have changed beyond recognition? From attending his twenty-year high school reunion and discovering another person's face on his name badge, to splattering an urgent care room with blood ?la The Shining, to being terrorized by a plague of gay frogs who've overtaken his backyard, Eric provides the nitty, and sometimes gritty, details of wrestling with your past life while in the middle of a new one. With wit, heart, and hope for the future, Congratulations, The Best Is Over! is the not-so-gentle reminder we all need that even when life doesn't go according to plan, we can still find our way back home"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
