Black Lit Book Group with Micah
Discussing God Bless You, Otis Spunkmeyer by Joseph Earl Thomas

Led by Greenlight bookseller Micah, with special appearances from fellow Greenlight booksellers, our Black Lit Book Group meets monthly to amplify the works of past and present Black voices of all genres. All reading frequencies are welcome!

For January, our (inaugural) book group pick is Joseph Earl Thomas' prize-winning, fiction debut: God Bless You, Otis Spunkmeyer. A powerful examination of every day Black life in Philadelphia and the struggle to build intimate connections through the eyes of a struggling ex-Army grad student—God Bless You, Otis Spunkmeyer explores health and sex, race and punishment, and the gaps between our desires and our politics.
