A trip through America’s South, in and out of discontented time, written in a world incautiously becoming too saturated with burdensome historical figures and family members, celebrations, pleasures—the pleasures of shadows: The good oblivion the world hurls itself to. Live an objective life, observe all the things we don’t want to exist, the extremes we believe do not exist. "The Brief Life is Always the Best" is a work that demands the reader become the book, to see the ordinary in a different way, to take in the beautiful brevity of life. Celebrate incivility, celebrate the short life: The lived life.
