Sinopse

Jackson was tossing lame old walnuts out in back when he saw the yellow elevator box. The elevator takes him out &mdash,áout of the world, out of the universe, out into nothing. When a little kid like Jackson is confronted with Nothing, what can he do?How do you beat Nothing?Praise for Lancelot :&ldquo,Schaubert&rsquo,s words have an immediacy, a potency, an intimacy that grab the reader by the collar and say &lsquo,Listen, this is important!&rsquo, Probing the bones and gristle of humanity, Lancelot&rsquo,s subjects challenge, but also offer insights into redemption if only we will stop and pay attention.&rdquo,&mdash, Erika Robuck, National Bestselling Author of Hemingway&rsquo,s Girl&ldquo,Loved this story because Lancelot wrote about people who don&rsquo,t get written about enough and he did it with humor, compassion, and heart.&rdquo,&mdash, Brian Slatterly, author of Lost Everything and editor of The New Haven Review&ldquo,I&rsquo,m such a fan of Lancelot Schaubert&rsquo,s work. His unique view of things and his life-wisdom enriches all he does. We&rsquo,re lucky to count him among our contributors.&rdquo,&mdash, Therese Walsh, author of The Moon Sisters and Editorial Director of Writer Unboxed&ldquo,Lancelot Schaubert writes with conviction but without the cliché and bluster of the propaganda that is so common in this age of blogs and tweets. Here is a real practitioner of the craft who has the patience to pay attention. May his tribe increase!&rdquo,&mdash, Jonathan Wilson Hartgrove, author of Common Prayer and The Awakening of Hope&ldquo,Lancelot was the kind of student every writing teacher hopes to have in her class: attentive, thoughtful, a bit quirky, and innovative. Since his time in my classroom, he has continued to impress me. He &lsquo,sees,&rsquo, and his essays, poetry, and fiction are full of details that enable his audience to see. Bravo, Lance.&rdquo,&mdash, Jackina Stark, author of Things Worth Remembering and Tender Grace&ldquo,Schaubert&rsquo,s narratives are emotionally stirring with both a vulnerable sensibility and rawness to them. They take you on a journey full of open wounds, intimate successes and personal delights. Lancelot&rsquo,s words have a calmness, a natural ease but the meaning is always commanding and dynamic.&rdquo,&mdash, Natalie Gee, Brooklyn Film Festival
