DEPARTURE

A man reflects on a life lived at full tilt, with all its absurdities, misfires, loves, and humiliations. From the quiet betrayals of the body to the petty cruelties of work, the fragile loyalties of friendship, the stinging reversals of ageing parents, and the fleeting moments that almost make it all worthwhile, this is a razor-sharp, darkly comic journey through the human experience.

Witty, brutally honest, and unflinchingly observant, Departure is a novella about life’s high stakes and low absurdities. It’s a meditation on mortality, a celebration of folly, and a love letter to the chaos of being alive.

For anyone who has ever wondered whether life makes sense, or whether we’re all just improvising in a theatre that refuses rehearsal, this book is your merciless, hilarious, and oddly comforting answer.
