'Exceptional debut' - Tommy Orange, New York Times David has a mind
that never stops running. He reads Dante and Moby Dick, he sinks
into Hemingway and battles with Milton. But on Florida's Gulf
Coast, one can slip into deep water unconsciously. At the age of
fourteen, David runs away from home to pursue a girl. He tries
crack cocaine for the first time and is 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 him - a 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 the odds, to carve out a place for hope. David Sanchez's
debut resounds with real force and demonstrates the redemptive
power of the written word.
