英文简介:
The beloved bestselling author of Here for It returns with an all-new collection of heartening, deeply relatable, and laugh-out-loud essays about what happens after happily ever after.
“Funny, insightful, and hopeful .
.
.
a profound meditation on what it means to come home, and on finding your way again after the chaos of life takes you off your path.
“–John Paul Brammer, author of ¡Hola Papi! After going viral “reading” the chaotic political news, having one-too-many awkward social encounters, and coming to terms with his intersecting identities, R.
Eric Thomas finally knew who he was and where he was going.
He was living his best life.
But then everything changed.
In this collection of insightful and hilarious essays, Thomas moves back to his perpetually misunderstood hometown of Baltimore (a place he never wanted to return, even to be buried) and behaving completely out of character.
They say you can’t go home again, but what if you and home have changed beyond recognition? From attending his twenty-year high school reunion and discovering another person’s face on his name badge, to splattering an urgent care room with blood à la The Shining, to being terrorized by a plague of gay frogs who’ve overtaken his backyard, Thomas provides the nitty, and sometimes the gritty, details of wrestling with the life he thought he’d left behind while trying to establish a new one.
With wit, heart, and hope for the future, Congratulations, The Best Is Over! is the not-so-gentle reminder we all need that even when life doesn’t go according to plan, we can still find our way back home.
中文简介:
这位深受喜爱的畅销书作者《Here for It》带着全新的文集回归,书中收录了令人振奋的、深入人心的、令人捧腹大笑的文章,讲述了幸福生活之后会发生什么。
“有趣、富有洞察力、充满希望……对回家意味着什么的深刻思考,以及在生活的混乱使你偏离道路后再次找到自己的道路。
”——约翰·保罗·布拉默,《Hola Papi》的作者!在“阅读”混乱的政治新闻、经历了太多尴尬的社交遭遇以及接受了自己交叉的身份之后,R·埃里克·托马斯终于知道了自己是谁以及要去哪里。
他过着最美好的生活。
但后来一切都变了。
在这本富有洞察力和搞笑的文章集中,托马斯回到了他永远被误解的家乡巴尔的摩(一个他永远不想回去的地方,甚至不想被埋葬),并且表现得完全不符合他的性格。
他们说你不能再回家了,但如果你和家已经面目全非怎么办?托马斯讲述了从参加二十年高中同学聚会并在自己的名牌上发现另一个人的脸,到像《闪灵》那样让急诊室血溅满,再到被占领他后院的同性恋青蛙瘟疫所恐吓。
在试图建立新的生活时,他与自己认为已经抛在身后的生活进行了斗争,这些细节,有时甚至是坚韧不拔的细节。
带着智慧、心灵和对未来的希望,恭喜你,最好的已经结束了!这是我们都需要的不那么温和的提醒,即使生活没有按计划进行,我们仍然可以找到回家的路。
