  1. 1. Congratulations, The Best Is Over!

    Congratulations, The Best Is Over! is a collection of essays by R. Eric Thomas about the lifelong search for community and returning home. After going viral reading chaotic political news and navigating awkward encounters and intersecting identities, Thomas moves back to his hometown of Baltimore. He recounts a twenty-year high school reunion where he discovers another person’s face on his name badge, splatters an urgent care room with blood like The Shining, and is terrorized by a plague of gay frogs in his backyard.
