Overview

"I Wrote This Book in Lieu of Dying is almost a memoir. It was born from a pivotal moment when the specter of mortality loomed, and the extent of the resulting doctors' bills was unknown. The author, faced with a novel experience for the umpteenth time and honestly more than a bit over it, decided to examine the queries that drive their existence. As it turns out, the question to probe was not ""Why do I live?"" or ""What is the meaning of a life bound by death?"" but rather, ""Who is this person who is currently living, and where have I seen them before?"" As you read I Wrote This Book in Lieu of Dying, you'll embark on a journey through the intricate alleys of life, identity, and existential dread. This book eludes categorization and has been described as a concept album composed of a bewitching blend of poetry, poetic prose, and philosophical pontifications, all without a single note of actual music contained within. This book is inspired by the author's relationships with their ancestors, hailing from four to five continents. It is an origin story, the first book in a trilogy, a braiding of thoughts drawn from the strands of a life defined by tension and involuntarily-hewn resilience. A. Almond-Harvey is still kicking as of the time of publishing and is at least somewhat ready to share this work with the world. Take your chance to scour this remarkable tale crafted while peering over the precipice of mortality and peeking around the corners of wisdom. I Wrote This Book in Lieu of Dying weaves a narrative that echoes with the disconcertingly rapid heartbeat of life itself."
