Riffing on noir and told in a series of vignettes, Sid Sanford Lives! douses humanistic themes—love, loss, and family—in bourbon, shoves them in the barrel of a gun, and shoots. Sid Sanford always follows a path, just not his own. From backyard Wiffle ball games to New York City skyscrapers, Sid finds triumph and pain in equal measure during his uncertain, and at times violent, thrust into manhood. A colorful, loyal family, a plethora of eccentric friends, and a few star-crossed soulmates highlight his journey, but it’s ultimately up to Sid whether his destiny fulfills his potential or drowns in the bottom of a bottle. Daniel Ford knocks the stuffing out of Sid Sanford, only to skillfully stitch him back together, presenting a complex, flawed, and compelling character. Sid Sanford Lives! is a wry, touching, and captivating portrait of the highs and lows that make up a life.”—W.B. Belcher, author of Lay Down Your Weary Tune https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5989cd95d482e9b676e89051/1554831316466-RR6W1FP9W8XTZYEFTI1J/42430228_10213279885976311_1074225119489949696_o.jpg Sid Sanford Lives! https://www.danielfford.com/books/black-coffee daily 0.75 2022-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5989cd95d482e9b676e89051/1556547350814-UZ4CRNV5KX5LME5SF246/image-asset.png Black Coffee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5989cd95d482e9b676e89051/1556547074496-VALWS0PK0ZD5XL8NFX0C/black-coffee-book-cover.png Black Coffee - Black Coffee Black Coffee, a new short story collection from the author of Sid Sanford Lives!, brews together heartsick, overcaffeinated characters and dialogue that sizzles off a greasy diner grill. Enter a mournful veteran’s mind as he loses his grip on reality. Join an all-female extermination squad hunting down despicable men. Wait at the bar with two soul mates as they battle their stormy past and try to bring a cold love back to a boil. These nine moving, funny, and, at times, terrifying stories explore how people meander in and out of each other’s lives, why family bonds are the hardest to navigate and break, and how hope lights a path even in the darkest of coffee cups.
