Life in a Supermarket Basket

Life in a Supermarket Basket is a darkly comic, emotionally charged story about a man who dies on the parking lot asphalt of his favorite grocery store and is given one bewildering chance to make sense of the life he squandered. As he is led through the afterlife by an impatient spirit guide, with each memory triggered by one of his supermarket items, he’s forced to confront the truths he buried, and the strange, unexpected mercy that might still be waiting for him.

Blending absurdity with genuine emotion, the story unfolds in supermarket purgatory where humor and heartbreak sit side by side. Characters from his past and present collide in scenes that are sharp, surreal, and unexpectedly tender, revealing the fragility of a life built on avoidance, longing, and small acts of grace.

Praised by Kirkus Reviews as “a gleefully cynical riff on life, death, and second chances,” and named a finalist in the 2023 American Fiction Awards, Life in a Supermarket Basket explores what it means to be seen, forgiven, and possibly redeemed—even in the unlikeliest of aisles.
