A Day in the Life of Modern Man

About the Book

A Day in the Life of Modern Man chronicles the challenges and experiences of a middle-aged husband and father in contrast to the personal history which shaped him. At once, this book is irreverent and spiritual, cynical and sincere. It is written for the optimist in all of us who sometimes gets lost in the fray. In a world of polarities, this book underscores the best and the worst of human behavior with subtlety and a keen sense of irony and humor. A Day in the Life of Modern Man was a 2003 Ulysses Award finalist for superior American literature independently published by the small press.
