Sociologist and critic Jay Gabler was an early Emily Books adopter who was so enthusiastic out of the gate that he even founded a Minneapolis chapter of Emily Books that met in person and drank and discussed our books. They’ve gone dormant — the fate of most IRL book clubs, in our experience — but maybe this will motivate them to start back up again with Speedboat? We hope so. We also trust that we can crash on Jay’s couch when we’re in town for Ruth’s 10 year college reunion. Here, Jay tells us what he’s reading now, why Minneapolis is a literary mecca, and the fungible boundary between “author” and “rapper.”
