The Stacks Book Club - December 2024
Tacky by Rax King
The Stacks Book Club selection for December is Tacky: Love Letters to the Worst Culture We Have to Offer by Rax King. This essay collection is a sharp, funny, and heartfelt celebration of the pop culture that often gets dismissed as “lowbrow” or “uncool.” Through witty and poignant reflections, King explores how our guilty pleasures—from chain restaurants to reality TV—can hold deep emotional meaning and shape who we are. Tacky is a celebration of joy, nostalgia, and the unapologetic embrace of the things we love, making it the perfect pick to close out the year.
