The Anvils (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781963908015)

On a spring night in Chicago, a city mystic on tilt named Satchel hops on his bike to make a decision. The extended unemployment benefits of the Great Recession are winding down and the law school where Satchel was accepted needs his final verdict. With his wife's successful friends coming over, the unemployed father of two escapes to meet up with a crowd of younger artists. Contemplations of fatherhood and selfhood, joyous etudes and racehorse dreams fill Satchel's mind as he makes his way across Chicago's streets grasping for a torch worth passing down.
