Publisher's Synopsis
Having survived the wintry desolation of the Chicago suburbs, J Edward retreats to Atlanta, where the summers are mercilessly hot and every evening invites new adventures. Alternatively calm and stormy, exuberant and lonely, this bounce between bottles digs into the life of an ordinary author living in a strange and unpredictable world. Life and Dark Liquor is both a memoir and philosophical piece, ranging through topics both small and grandiose: Single fatherhood. Holding on to friendships. Searching for creativity. And the hardest parts of being human. It's all here. And the best part...the author sips scotch, bourbon, and deep, dark whiskey with every chapter. No subject is taboo. No topic goes untouched. No cocktail is spared. Life and Dark Liquor is the 'sequel' to J Edward Neill's Reality is Best Served with Red Wine.
