Though We Be Dead, Yet Our Day Will Come

Set against the backdrop of a sixtieth high school reunion in a small Alabama town, the novella explores the ironic "progress" of the Class of 1956 through the narrator's sardonic lens. He reflects on the grim realities faced by his classmates—divorces, addictions, and personal crises—contrasting these with the prevailing narratives of social justice and self-actualization. This thought-provoking work critiques the notion of historical advancement, appealing to those skeptical of celebrating societal changes that come at a personal cost.
