Item description from seller

Paperback. We're Thankful for the Moisture contains personal essays by award-winning humor columnist Eli McCann for The Salt Lake Tribune, along with corresponding cartoons by the Tribune's Pat Bagley. McCann explores cultural Mormonism and his experiences growing up in Utah as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1990s, coming out as gay in adulthood, leaving his faith, and navigating life in Salt Lake City with his husband and their young child. Known for his observational humor, nostalgia, and compassion for those in his community who span the religious spectrum, McCann weaves together the silliness that often comes out of communal traditions with the humanity of those who hold those traditions dear. "I still think there's no better sound than the background noise of neighbors being neighbors," he writes, "the simple hum of a people gathered." While there is much humor to be found in baffling cultural entreaties, like McCann's grandmother sincerely claiming that nineteenth-century Mormon pioneers wouldn't trade places with those who live in 2025, or parents justifying a curfew time by insisting "the Holy Ghost goes to bed at midnight," there is also beauty in what prompts a person to believe such things. McCann's writings seek to prove just that. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
