Be Brief and Tell Them Everything

By: Brad Listi

A darkly funny meditation on creativity and family, Be Brief and Tell Them Everything tracks the life of a middle-aged author named 'Brad' who is struggling to write his next novel while trying to come to grips with his son's disabilities, set against a backdrop of ecological catastrophe and escalating human insanity in contemporary Los Angeles. A beautiful, powerful, concise work of autofiction, Be Brief documents the stops and starts of adulthood and marriage, and the joys and grief of parenting, while defining what it means to be a good man, and a good writer.

Attention. Deficit. Disorder.

A Novel

By: Brad Listi

A young man begins a life-altering journey after his ex-girlfriend's suicide in this dazzling LA Times bestselling novel about the exploration of life, death, and love. After Wayne Fencer, a recent film school grad, attends his ex-girlfriend's funeral, he struggles to come to terms with her suicide and the startling news that she was pregnant with his child. Desperate to understand and haunted by regret, Wayne begins a journey that takes him up and down the East Coast (on foot) and across the American West (in an RV), finally arriving at the Costco Soulmate Trading Outpost in the middle of the Black Rock Desert. Along the way, Wayne's journey becomes a series of meditations on modern life, drawing on everything from the ancient philosophy of Siddhartha Gautama to a visit with Gregorio Fuentes, Hemingway's fishing guide and inspiration for The Old Man and the Sea. "An ironic, often humorous take on the anomie of youth" (People), and set in the era of information overload, Attention. Deficit. Disorder. is a highly original novel that exhibits an unforgettable voice.

Board

By: Brad Listi,Justin Benton

Board" is a groundbreaking work of literary collage derived entirely from comment boards at The Nervous Breakdown, an online culture magazine and literary community founded in 2006. It is a unique artifact of the Internet Age and the digital revolution in publishing. It is a cacophony of voices. It is what your computer screen sounds like, only better. It is strangely moving. And painfully honest. And shockingly funny and mean. It is all of these things. And it is essential reading for anyone who spends too much time sitting slack-jawed in front of a computer screen. ..".an unprecedented literary endeavor...beautifully, often poetically written...It s as if the cultural curiosity of a David Markson were being siphoned through the real life followers of his work in an art-imitating-life-imitating-art-imitating-Markson kerfuffle that s quite easy to become both engrossed by, and obsessed with...This is one to buy, study, enjoy..."
