This was a book that certain lines made me pause, wonder, and think. Even from the title, I began meditating on the nature of finding & making joy. There's a line in the last essay about joy being an act of resistance. Each chapter explores a different incitement and there are definitely through lines that Gay weaves in throughout - seeds, growing, connections, community. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"A collection of long-form essays on joy, in which the author turns his curious and poetic mind to everything from skateboarding and cover songs, basketball and race, dancing and academia, death and laughter, and, always, the garden and the natural world"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Meandering writing, rambling footnotes, self-absorbed introspection – it’s a difficult-to-care-about memoir in essay format. I liked the author’s reminiscences of his father, and his descriptions of friends and relatives and their gatherings was interesting, but most of what I read was overly wordy and the writing was convoluted.
This would work as a satisfying journal exercise, but it didn’t resonate for me. I can’t invest any more time when the result is so joyless. ( )
