    About this ebook

    Mack Reynolds has not had a good week. His wife left him for the life she’d rather have, his kid doesn’t really like him anymore, his humidor is empty, and he’s very quickly running through his last two fifths of whiskey. While his life spontaneously combusts around him and his self-control exits stage right, Mack accelerates his fall from grace with all the good cigars, cheap booze, and out of control escapades he can muster. Hitting bottom is a given. What’s waiting for him when he gets there is the question.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Dispatches From the Trenches of Domestic Life

      Mar 2, 2018

      Six years ago my wife gave me a pair of house slippers. My first ever. A domestic present I thought signaled some new phase of my life. I thanked her. Tried them on. Plush fur lined the inside. I stood up to make a show of enjoying them. Then she han

      May 16, 2021

      I recently took up my doctor’s kind offer of a flu shot. Last year was the first time I’d ever had one. But though I tend not to catch the flu and don’t like having needles stuck in me, it seemed the sensible thing to do now that I’ve reached an age
