Imagine waking one morning to discover you have wings. Imagine the places you could go and sights you could see as you soar high above the world looking down with a true bird's eye view. In this very funny yet strange story, our hero Eggerton wrestles with these decisions as he contemplates what to do with his life when he rises from bed and learns he possesses the power of winged flight. In this update to the original 2014 edition, the author has added some timely cultural references as well as three humorous, yet somewhat macabre, short stories. Readers will also find the opening chapters of a surreal unpublished novel that explores the inner psyche of an ordinary house spider. And as with the original version, the author has included dozens of odd images that blend into the story.
When My Life With Wings was first published the book won several literary awards, including the Beverly Hills Book Award in the New Fiction category. The book was also a finalist for the Eric Hoffer Award Montaigne Medal and the Hoffer Grand Prize.
