Living
A COLLECTION OF ESSAYS
One part social commentary, one part memoir, and all parts perfectly inappropriate for these challenging times.
A NOTE FROM ALEX
Well, I wrote a book. I mean, I’ve written a few. But this one is different. This book started out as a collection of rants from a foul-mouthed, 57-year-old chain-smoking lady living in a run-down trailer park.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
In this collection of hilarious, astute, and sometimes heart-wrenching essays, Alex Woodard reveals imperfect truths about relationships, family, society and career as only he could – through the eyes of a struggling singer-songwriter caught between his 1980s childhood and today’s comparative-happiness landscape.
The Companion Album
Be prepared to laugh out loud, maybe first at the absurdity lurking beneath a curated social media post, and then again as you pause and wonder “Wait, is that me?”
Because yeah, that could be you. Don’t worry, though, you’re not alone.
