Ellettsville Book Group: ‘Inciting Joy’ (Age 18+)

Please register if you are interested. Join us on the third Thursday of the month to discuss a dynamic mix of fiction and nonfiction. This month’s selection is Inciting Joy by Ross Gay.

Summary:
Gay’s poetically influenced prose is nothing short of joyful. Blending the serious and the playful, this essay collection incites joy with writings about a wide range of actions and places: dancing, orchards, teaching, skateboarding, basketball courts, technology’s absence, death, authentic gratitude, and more. For Gay, joy is also incited by courage and honesty; his essays have a through line of offering the deeply personal and speaking truth to power.
