Book excerpt: This is raw, semi-autobiographical fiction at its most painfully honest' Observer 'Brilliant, lyrical, hilarious, heartbreaking' Cristina García David is only fourteen when he first tries crack cocaine. He is instantly hooked, and spends the next decade fighting his way out of jail and rehab. Though he reaches a tenuous sobriety, it is only when he takes a literature class at the local community college that something within him ignites. Set on Florida's Gulf Coast, All Day Is a Long Time is a spectacular account of what it takes to return from the brink to the world around us. In this unforgettable debut, David Sanchez demonstrates the importance of hope, and the redemptive power of the written word. 'A wonder, an important, essential new voice' Justin Torres
