EveryDay Life
M.G. Hardie
In America we know that the subculture exist most of us just ignore its existence. Those that are within the subculture are labeled as the disenfranchised, the shiftless, and the lazy. Is the subculture is more than gang-bangers, Ebonics, and big proportioned women shaking their back-sides? Is it more than the ghetto? EveryDay Life asserts that the subculture is and has played a much larger role in making America great than we would like admit to. Hardie boldly asserts that the subculture represents the last bastion of truth left in America. Until now, no one has endeavored to look this closely, or this honestly at this segment of the population. This In-Your-Face book is a brilliantly humorous work that is easily adaptable to any medium.
EveryDay Life or EDL is a comedy that is profoundly important to America’s culture as a whole. L the main character is a hard working young Black man saddled with a checkered past. He is unhappy with life and questions the world around him. This premise sounds familiar, but it is the point of view of EDL that is unique. EDL may be the 1st interactive piece of literature. How is this done? The author through EveryDay Life intentionally involves the reader in discussions and purposefully has the reader insert names for each of the characters. EDL does more than entertain it reveals some of the conflict and paradoxes within us all. These characters discuss, live, and do things that we are too Politically Correct to delve into. The language usage in EDL is adult, but when the characters play a unique version of The Dozen it becomes flat-out endearing.
What exactly is Everyday Life. It is exactly what its name suggest. It is Long Beach urbanism at it’s finest. It is lower class people doing low class things. It is a slice of life, or Tranch de vie as the French would say. It is 29,000 highly charged words that targets not only at African-Americans, but all Americans. It is a work filled with indelible images and actions that are not limited by race, or color. EveryDay Life is not about Hip-hop, EveryDay Life is Hip Hop. EveryDay Life is comedy, drama, political, racial and at the same time EveryDay Life is genre-less. EDL is a simple construction about truth through the eyes of substantive characters. L and his three friends go through humorous, dramatic, and enlightening changes over the course of a few days. I have found no literary, stage, or screen works that come close to singularity of EDL. The stylized technique used in penning this work is as much a character as the human ones are. Simply put EveryDay Life is nothing short of an Urban Masterpiece. Enjoy.
