Eternity Is Born in the Tribe (The Last Real Luxury Series) - A Novel (Epub & PDF)
Seven-twenty on a Tuesday in November. Rain against the window. A man opens his banking app out of habit and, for the first time, dares to add up what he has paid, month after month, for the right to sleep in an apartment that is not his. The number is one hundred and twenty-three thousand dollars. He sets the cup down. And he becomes, in that instant, a man who has done the calculation, and that is a thing one does not go back from.Eternity Is Born in the Tribe is the notebook of that man. Forty-one years old, a philosopher by training who never finished the doctorate, a father of one, fluent in the art of being intelligent about a life he was not quite living. Over one winter he walks a city that no longer sees him, calls the people he knows who seem to have solved something he hasn't, and finds, on an obscure forum, three hundred pages long, the plan for a community being built in the north of Quebec, at the edge of a cold river coming out of winter.This is not a manifesto and not a self-help book. It is a slow, grave, luminous account of one man deciding whether another way of living is possible, and what it would cost him and his daughter to try. It asks a question most of us carry without words. Not how to live cheaply, but how to live cheaply enough that we might, at last, once, live for real.For readers of quiet literary fiction, of the contemplative and the interior, of writers who trust silence and the long sentence. If you have ever come home at night and wondered what your life was for, this book was written toward you.Details: Novel · approx. 25,000 words · available as PDF (and/or EPUB)
