Did I...did I just check eery check box for what this book is?
Because LITERALLY everything. And also such good Elul reading, which I know is weird because it's not about Elul, but it is about God from the narrow places and the ability to take stock of oneself and also just every Lavery writes, since his days at The Toast, has been beautiful and makes me want to just hug a stuffed animal and weep, but in a good way.
And also he's absolutely a very particular kind of stylist and if it is not your thing, you can bounce HARD off of the prose.
