The Two Lives of Robert Littman

by William Mann

Synopsis

Some choices can't be unmade. But they can be understood.

In the winter of 1974, seventeen-year-old Robert Littman stood at a crossroads: follow the girl he loved to Florida, or stay behind, finish school, and build the life his ambition demanded. He chose love. But he never stopped wondering about the road not taken.

The Two Lives of Robert Littman is an autofiction that explores both paths simultaneously — the life the author actually lived, and the life he might have lived. Spanning five decades, it is a story about love and ambition, about the families we build and the ones we leave behind, about the small, quiet decisions that accumulate over a lifetime and define who we become.

One path leads to warmth. The other leads to success? Neither leads where he expected.
