Book Club - inaugural meeting
Book Title: Here for It by R. Eric Thomas (2020)
About the book: In this memoir of hysterical and heartfelt essays, R. Eric Thomas looks through the lens of his childhood to redefine what it means to be “normal” and “other” in the modern shifting world. Goodreads says: “‘Here for It’ will resonate deeply and joyfully with everyone who has ever felt pushed to the margins, struggled with self-acceptance, or wished to shine more brightly in a dark world.”
You can listen to the NPR episode where Eric speaks about his life and this book:
