Summary

Jay Ellis, star of HBO's Insecure, joins The Stacks to discuss his new memoir, Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (or Just Me)?: Adventures in Boyhood. We talk about how this book came to be, where Jay’s imaginary friend came from and the purpose he served in his life. We also consider productivity versus creativity, and the books that made Jay fall in love with reading.

The Stacks Book Club pick for August is Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom by Ilyon Woo. We will discuss the book on August 28th with Jay Ellis.
