As always, Gay revels in the natural world--sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor's fig tree--and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Book of (More) Delights\u003c\/i\u003e is a volume to savor and share. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ross Gay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643753096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643753096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.28h x 5.25w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/18\/2023","brand":"Ross Gay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133616287999,"sku":"9781643753096","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbc0ca4b-9fd2-4c4f-8aa7-057cc9c67360.jpg?v=1687487195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-book-of-more-delights-ross-gay-9781643753096","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
