The human heart: you cant live with it, and you cant live without it.We are bound together and yet broken apart, like a chain link fence.We yearn for connections kinship and mourn its losses; it is the fabric of our existence and what drives us. The agony of lost love, the hollowness of an absent family member, the cute guy on the basketball court that you just cant muster up the courage to say hi to. A summer trip to Montauk. A night out at a salty dive bar. A foghorn in the distance, sipping a sweet drink. Emptying the fridge, packing up the old condo. Listening to Grandpas corny jokes. Wondering if life as a prep school art teacher meant anything. Getting even with your older brother. Haunted by Havanas vacant casino high rises and ancient automobiles, dreaming of pizza in Rome.Chain Linked chronicles lifes joys and discontents in vivid detail and gives us a window into our souls.
