Original music inspired by Ross Gay’s The Book of Delights
What happens if we pay attention? That’s the quiet dare at the heart of The Book of Delights, Ross Gay’s dazzling collection of daily essays that touch on everything from palm readings to Lisa Loeb. Funny, strange, and full of questions, these kaleidoscopic observations invite you to pause and look closer: not to escape from the world, but to escape from distraction.
“Ross Gay’s eye lands upon wonder at every turn, bolstering my belief in the countless small miracles that surround us.”—Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize winner and U.S. Poet Laureate
“You’ll find that the delights of Gay’s world illuminate the delights of yours, that his wonder is contagious and has caused you to deepen your own.” —GQ
Heads up: The Book of Delights touches on difficult topics including racism, animal cruelty, illness, and death. It also briefly mentions sensitive subjects like incest, murder, and sexual themes. (StoryGraph)
