Landslide - Releasing 2027
Alex Shelby is the smartest man in the room—just ask him.
A veteran political columnist with a hair-trigger wit, Alex has spent years burning bridges. But when a very public, cheesecake-fueled meltdown finally nukes his career and marriage, he finds himself in a freefall of his own making. At nearly fifty, the man who lived to "afflict the comfortable" is suddenly homeless, disgraced, and forced to ghostwrite for an eccentric, zen-seeking billionaire running for Mayor.
To survive, Alex must finally trade his cynicism for connection. He is forced to navigate a "rehabilitation" tour among the people he spent a lifetime pushing away: an ex-wife who has found her peace, a teenage son searching for faith, and a political fixer whose loyalty has a price tag.
But as Alex uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to bury the city, he realizes his "landslide" includes a falling career and the total collapse of the man he used to be. Darkly comic and deeply soulful, Landslide is a journey through the wreckage of a life built on snark and the messy work of starting over.
In this darkly comic and deeply soulful exploration of the Gen-X soul, Alex Shelby must decide if he’s going to keep fighting the world, or finally join it.
