We're excited to offer Luck Favors the Prepared, a collection of nonfiction short stories by Nathaniel Barber, now for sale on Amazon Books. More than just a comedy book, Luck Favors the Prepared allows a peek inside the life observant. It is a straightforward read which, by the book's end, migrates to more than just short stories, to memoir and autobiography. A remote and often hilarious documentary, this book dreamily explores the absurd dark comedies of death and divorce, landlordship, dysfunctional families, role playing video games, high school, misguided activism, customer service and sudden, unexpected wardrobe failures. As a son of the Pacific Northwest, Nathaniel Barber's stories are nestled in the mossy bosom of Washington, Oregon and Northern California. His characters and rich dialogue are plucked from a past stranger than fiction and set to life. They are belligerents and buffoons. They are the beautiful and the bewildering, plagued by dark and grotesque motives and juxtaposed with a loving objectivity that suspends judgement for a world where no one is defined by their worst deeds. Luck Favors the Prepared is an unforgettable tour through the ordinary and unconventional-a full literary collection of real life's humor and all its baggage, handcrafted by the hardest working author in contemporary literature.
