If you’re yearning for that laugh-out-loud on the subway, 'damn-I-left-my-book-at-home' kind of read, look no further than oureric's 'Here for It.' isabeljones93 tells you about the one book you need to read this month:
.” And while Thomas’s personality is certainly on display in everything he writes, his essay collection offers a more intimate view of the writer.He manages to draw on experiences that most people would bury in the back of their consciousness — and Thomas doesn’t justthem. That time he, and his admittedly white-sounding name, earned a reputation as a white nationalist? It’s in the book. The habitual Tuesday nights he spent staking out Columbia University’s Coming Out Group ? It’s in the book.
He takes on more solemn topics as well: racism, homophobia, depression, suicide — all of which are handled with a care that may seem at odds with humor writing. Thomas is a master of tone, joking about the size of his prom date’s corsage just pages ahead of an emotional reflection on the very same friend’s death. He doesn’t use his wit to deflect from the pain of these experiences — he uses it to enhance them.
