Rax King is my internet and writing role model. Tacky is a joy to read and a reminder that pop culture, and all its highs and lows, generates more returns than just brain rot and hierarchies based on meaningless standards. Read what you like! listen to what you enjoy! We’re all going to the ground anyway!! Also Rax’s next book, Sloppy: or Doing it All Wrong, comes out in July and I am counting down the days!

The thing on the book says essays in praise of excess which I thought idk would be like about kitsch John waters type shit which would have been tight but it’s about a lot of things?? it’s been very good summer reading and a lot of good things here besides being good and enjoyable it’s jump starting a lot of topics for my own writing

A midcentury Southern coming-of-age tale. Raucous and vulgar, but raw and probably one of the more quotable books I’ve read. Golden wisdom through character’s failure if you can wade through the muck.
