In the middle of a quiet, not-so-special clearing in the woods, a wee tiny
whatsit wakes up without any memory at all. So he sets off in search of his
maker, as well as some sense of purpose in Life. Along the way, he encounters a
bizarre cast of silly, helpful, and oddly poignant characters who teach him how
to survive this crazy game called Existence.The Big Empty Life of Alphonse
Tabouret is an existential fairy tale about Life, Love, Loss, and the search for
answers to questions we all ask nobody in particular. While cute and silly on
the surface, almost every encounter is metaphorical (without being
heavy-handedly so). This adorably engaging and heartwarming tale invites the
reader to decipher the life lessons gleaned by Alphonse in personal terms that
speak to today's social conditions. Through the innocent lens of simple, cute
characterization, readers are presented with honest questions about parenting,
materialism, addiction, codependency, narcissism, depression, and the search for
meaning that we all undergo every day.
