Description
David Sanchez's debut novel, All Day Is a Long Time, is a powerful and unflinching account of growing up in a world that often seems determined to crush its inhabitants. With a fierce intensity, the author recounts his own struggles with addiction and redemption, weaving together fragments of his past into a raw and deeply personal narrative. As he navigates the treacherous landscape of teenage years, David finds solace in literature, using the works of Dante, Hemingway, and Milton to make sense of the world around him. It is only when he takes a literature class at a community college that something within him begins to shift, igniting a spark of hope in a life that had seemed lost forever. This is a spectacular and unflinching debut, one that resounds with real force and demonstrates the redemptive power of the written word.
