Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Everyday Life allows readers to exist in a day and life of four African-American males. Showing that despite of some of the senseless decisions the characters have chosen to make, they themselves have more sense than some people that dwell outside of the ghetto and/or have never smoked marijuana. All conversations are on point and are subjects that need to be visited by Americans in whole. With humor, and thought M.G. Hardie provokes critics and readers to think outside of the box and see another side of the hood. Everyday Life demands a respect for African American men struggling to get out of the hood or making an attempt to raise the expectation of, "Boys in * the hood".

In M. G. Hardie's debut release, EveryDay Life, he takes the reader on a daunting rollercoaster ride through the philosophic and moral ghost towns long since abandoned by the old-guard black intelligentsia (for the more profitable profession of public rabble-rousing and stylized television appearances, of course) in order to lay bare the drama of four invisible desperados.

The personalities of the cast jump out at you. I think I have someone in my life who's just like each of them. Very nicely written.

EveryDay Life, by MG Hardie, is a snapshot of African-Americana. This book can make you shudder because of its harshness and nod because of the universal truths. Many of the verbal exchanges between the characters are the same ones I experienced with the men I grew up around. I even had some of the conversations found in EveryDay Life with my college roommates -- almost word for word. That's how genuine the dialogue is in this book.
C and L are room mates. L was a promising star basketball player ... Read More

MG Hardie's "Everyday Life" is a short play about four friends, L, C, E, and B as they sit around in one their apartments and shoot the breeze. They discuss a little bit of everything - everyday life.
It wasn't long before I found myself pulling up one of the non-matching chairs from the Rent-for-Less kitchen table and having a seat with them. I even threw in my two cents a few times and cracked some jokes!
"Everyday Life" is an interesting, often comical exploration. I recommend ... Read More
