Everything is fine. It just doesn’t look like it. Dan has a plan. He just hasn’t started it yet. After a series of completely reasonable decisions—losing his job, his marriage, and most of his stability—Dan finds himself in a temporary situation. One that is, by all accounts, under control. Told through his calm, measured perspective, Everything Is Fine follows a man who insists nothing is wrong… while everything clearly is. As his world quietly unravels, Dan reframes each setback as progress, each warning sign as misunderstanding, and every ending as “not quite final.

The Memoir of the Minotaur is the posthumous confessions of the half-man, half-bull of Crete, as offered to an audience of recently deceased 21st-century fellow souls in Hades’ domain.

When Drew Hastings was seven years old, his father, also named Drew Hastings, left the family, remarried, and had another son, named Drew Hastings. “Suddenly there were three Drew Hastings,” Hastings writes, “me, the one who left me, and the one who replaced me.” And so begins a life-long pursuit of a name, and one long, slow skid toward the realization that we’re all just making it up as we go along. The son of a single mother, Hastings picks his way through suburban and urban Ohio, obsessed with proving himself against the backdrop of the counterculture of the Sixties and Seventies.

From his earliest memories of watching Rhoda with his parents in their tiny Hell’s Kitchen apartment, John knew that he wanted to be an actor. The strange, alternate world of television—where people always cracked the perfect joke, lived in glamorous Upper East Side buildings, and made up immediately after fighting—seemed far better than his own home life, with a mother and father on the brink of divorce and a neighborhood full of crumbling pre-war architecture and not-so-occasional muggings. And yet that other world also seems unattainable.
