And It Will Be A Beautiful Life (2021)
Craig Lancaster
"Among Craig Lancaster's gifts, I've come to appreciate most his ability to take the mundane and elevate it to the level of art; how he can spin quotidian threads into so many colorful, surprising patterns and, along the way, find such extraordinary seams of beauty, friendship, love, regret, tragedy, and triumph. You've really got to read this book."
