Description

The New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Delights and Inciting Joy is back with exactly the book we need in these unsettling times. "Yes, please. I'll have another dose of delight." -Margaret Roach, New York TimesIn Ross Gay's new collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America's most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight. For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the "nefarious" scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren.

As always, Gay revels in the natural world-sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbour's fig tree-and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. The Book of (More) Delights is a volume to savour and share.
