In this meditative and lyrical collection, McAllister challenges himself to write a short essay for every year he’s been alive. Funny, insightful, and open-hearted, the book aims to tell the story of his life through brief glimpses, anecdotes, and fragments. IT ALL FELT IMPOSSIBLE is a compelling document of an idiosyncratic human existence that volleys so skillfully between the mundane and the profound that readers will find themselves marveling at these essays long after they have read them.
