I think David Sedaris, who is bitingly real, is also incredibly sweet. Many of his essays end in joy and even wonder. Plus, I’ve never laughed harder than I do while reading or listening to him -- and that’s incredibly joyful.
This is wonderful (and I love Ross Gay, glad to know of his newest). Have you read the sublime Things to Look Forward To, by Sophie Blackall? It’s a life-affirming ode to small joys and the art of noticing.
Thanks for this Heather! It reminded me that I did once write about my attempts to let joy sit with me… (I am constantly striving towards the joy-savouring that you speak of): https://justtyping.blog/?p=214
