Tue 03 Jun 2025

Tom McAllister is taking us on a wild ride through his life with his memoir-in-essays titled It All Felt Impossible, which is as clever as it is relatable. Imagine this: one short essay for each year he's been alive, all packed into 42 pieces that are like snapshots of his existence, limited to 1,500 words each. You'll find a monorail crash at the zoo, a tornado, youth sports tyrants, and even the awkwardness of learning to ride a bike as an adult. He dives into deep stuff, too, like coping with the loss of loved ones and flipping cheesesteaks on those grueling long shifts. It's a journey of self-discovery, connection, and surprises lurking around every corner, wrapped up in a voice that's as honest as it is engaging.

So, if you're curious about how one guy has managed to tie all these threads of life together, swing by. It's a free event, but you'll need to RSVP because, let's face it, not everyone can handle this level of existential musings at once. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025, from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm at The Ivy Bookshop's Back Patio in lovely Baltimore.
