Avoid the Day by award-winning journalist @jay._.kirk is a surreal, high-wire act of narrative nonfiction that redefines the genre. It’s part detective story, part memoir, and part meditation on the meaning of life—all told with a dark pulse of existential horror.
•
Perfect for your atmospheric Fall read! Don’t believe me? Ask H is for Hawk author Helen Macdonald (@emerillon):
"Avoid the Day truly seems to me to push nonfiction memoir as far as it can go without it collapsing into a singularity and I am at a loss for words. You are just going to have to read it."

Tales from the ER

In WHITE HOT LIGHT, “Huyler depicts the crises he treats with vivid and cinematic detail, but the book is less about the salacious depiction of trauma than it is an investigation into the vulnerabilities and resiliencies of human nature.” @SantaFeReporter
https://www.sfreporter.com/news/coverstories/2020/08/26/tales-from-the-er/

Heart attacks. Car accidents. Gun-shot injuries. The list of traumas that might land someone in a hospital emergency room runs long. Frank Huyler has probably seen them all.
