It's a special July 4 edition of OH THIS WORLD, featuring our own co-host Lucas Schaefer as our guest, talking about community centers like your local boxing gym!Lucas recently published his debut novel, The Slip, which centers around the fictional Terry Tucker's Boxing Gym. It's based on a real life boxing gym where Lucas was a member some twenty years ago, and in our conversation we explore the surprising and enduring bonds that can come of communities of people who seem to be nothing like us. In case you didn't know, we and people we love are increasingly at risk of, shall we say, lower quality of life due to <<gestures broadly>> things happening in the U.S. It's no understatement that we need each other now, more than ever. The time to find your people is now. The time to invest heavily in your communities is now. Let's go.You can buy The Slip wherever you buy books. And you'd best read it or be left out of all the conversations of this summer's must-read's!
