“The Book of More Delights” by Ross Gay is enjoyable, memorable and thought-provoking. This non-fictional memoir and nonfiction book of intriguing essays is one that I highly recommend to others. There are different essays, and although they are entertaining, Ross Gay writes about racism, male roles, his preferences, and his love of nature. I appreciate that Ross Gay writes with a positive point of view. Ross Gay delights in plants, animals, his family, and children. The author also mentions that in journaling his “delight,” he is thanking his readers and showing appreciation.
I am a plant murderess, and I am impressed when the author mentions the orange sweet potatoes he picks and that garlic seems to come up when neglected. He mentions a sunflower that grows from stone, and I am so bewildered. I am a rule follower, and nothing helps. That certainly is both a blessing for him and a delight to hear. I also enjoy when Ross Gay speaks about cats and dogs. I found this both delightful and amusing. I also enjoy it when he feels protective of his mom and her attitude. I was “delighted” with many of the essays, and some are pretty thought-provoking. Again, I highly recommend these well-written essays.
