David has a mind that never stops running. He reads Dante and Moby Dick, he sinks into Hemingway and battles with Milton. But on Floridaâs Gulf Coast, one can slip into deep water unconsciously; at the age of fourteen, David runs away from home to pursue a girl and, on his journey, tries crack cocaine for the first time. Heâs hooked instantly. Over the course of the next decade, he fights his way out of jail and rehab, trying to make sense of the world around himâa sunken world where faith in anything is a privilege. He makes his way to a tenuous sobriety, but it isn’t until he takes a literature class at a community college that something within him ignites.
All Day is a Long Time is a spectacular, raw account of growing up and managing, against every expectation, to carve out a place for hope. We see what it means, and what it takes, to come back from a place of little controlâto map ourselves on the world around, and beyond, us. David Sanchezâs debut resounds with real force and demonstrates the redemptive power of the written word.
