Aristotle's Cul-de-Sac

What do a guy, a bro, and a dude have in common? Not much-unless you count a shared cul-de-sac, a beloved beagle named D'Artagnan, and a quiet devotion to keeping their corner of the world from falling apart. In this warm, witty, and philosophically rich suburban allegory, Luke MacPherson brings ancient political theory to the cracked sidewalks of modern life. Inspired by Aristotle's Politics and the camaraderie of The Three Musketeers, Aristotle's Cul-de-Sac follows Ricky Achiever (the Kind Monarch), Brandon Brah (the Loyal Aristocrat), and Lalo Atmosphere (the Gentle Polity) as they navigate lawn disputes, lost dogs, broken bodies, rising bills, and the fragile beauty of friendship. Together, they face off against petty tyrants, overconfident boards, and the world's most chaotic town hall pizza night-all while trying to hold onto their own decency in a time when decency feels like a lost art. With laugh-out-loud moments, tender reflections, and just enough cosmic insight to make you stop and think, this story reminds us that you don't have to be chosen to be good. You just have to be present. Equal parts satire, heart, and homage, Aristotle's Cul-de-Sac is a celebration of the everyday revolution of showing up for one another. All for one. One for all.
