Life Sucks
Memories and Introspections During the Great Covid Lockdown
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fictional Café Press
During the 2020 Covid Lockdown, life sucked even more than usual. The need for the delicious distraction of laughter was in high demand. I posted satirically comedic essays online every week with the sole intention of making people laugh (and maybe think a little bit, too). Here we are, years later, and the truths and cautionary tales in these funny , ribald, dark, weird commentaries and observational witticisms hold truer than ever.
Editorial Reviews
“Life Sucks by PS Conway is a hugely funny, deeply satirical, and, at times, starkly dark look at life, especially during the pandemic lockdown. There is much to be gained from laughter, comedy, and out-and-out buffoonery and this author truly has hit the mark with this marvelous collection. I cannot speak highly enough of this work, especially for anyone who feels down, stressed, or out of place, in today’s world. I highly recommend it.” – Grant Leishman, Readers’ Favorite
