Fiction, contrary to popular belief, can convey truth. As one living through the COVID-19 pandemic, The Last Man in Cleveland was not only oracular but unexpectedly introspective as well. O’Dea explores the different ways trauma can manifest from a singular event as he follows six individuals in their journeys surviving an unstoppable global pandemic. Reading this helped me process the chaos of our time.
‘Gripping storytelling’

Praise & Reviews
I was so taken by this novella from new author Danny O'Dea and his complex look at grief and loss - the quiet apocalypse when we lose a loved one. O'Dea writes in such a way that even the hardest of topics are easily addressed and understood.
'Refreshingly Creative'
Ravven White, Author
I’ve never read a book quite like this one. First of all, The Last Man in Cleveland is the fastest I have ever read a book. The writing itself is beautiful and thoughtful which makes for an approachable and interesting adventure. In today’s world, higher consciousness is a sought after state, this book has a higher consciousness. The ending left me with feelings similar to the end of inception where your mind is racing and you know there’s a deeper message to the book, one deserving of the time to be explored. Finally, the book is hilarious. Danny O’Dea is able to somehow simultaneously makes me question my own existence while laughing out loud.
