Jackson was tossing lame old walnuts out in back when he saw the yellow elevator box. The elevator takes him out – out 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:
Schaubert’s words have an immediacy, a potency, an intimacy that grab the reader by the collar and say ‘Listen, this is important!’ Probing the bones and gristle of humanity, Lancelot’s subjects challenge, but also offer insights into redemption if only we will stop and pay attention.
– Erika Robuck, National Bestselling Author of Hemingway’s Girl
Loved this story because Lancelot wrote about people who don’t get written about enough and he did it with humor, compassion, and heart.
– Brian Slatterly, author of Lost Everything and editor of The New Haven Review
I’m such a fan of Lancelot Schaubert’s work. His unique view of things and his life-wisdom enriches all he does. We’re lucky to count him among our contributors.
– Therese Walsh, author of The Moon Sisters and Editorial Director of Writer Unboxed
Lancelot Schaubert writes with conviction but without the cliche 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!
– Jonathan Wilson Hartgrove, author of Common Prayer and The Awakening of Hope
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 ‘sees, ’ and his essays, poetry, and fiction are full of details that enable his audience to see. Bravo, Lance.
– Jackina Stark, author of Things Worth Remembering and Tender Grace
Schaubert’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’s words have a calmness, a natural ease but the meaning is always commanding and dynamic.
