Recalling the work of Lorrie Moore and Jonathan Franzen, The Good Life features characters battling daily demons of envy, fear, and disillusionment while somehow maintaining an abiding optimism.

In "A Whole New Man," a hippie father"s daughters sign him up for a makeover on television. Here are characters trying to weather the confounding people of the world -- the lucky in love, the athletically gifted, the chronically successful -- characters clinging to their cynicism while admitting that real hope and passion demand a suspension of skepticism.".
