Like grapevines and cocoa beans that reflect through their flavor the soil and water in which they grow, some places become part of a person's emotional and mental fabric. The evocative, elegiac stories comprising Links of the Chain present the human threads woven through a small northern Wisconsin town.

Produktbeschreibung
Like grapevines and cocoa beans that reflect through their flavor the soil and water in which they grow, some places become part of a person's emotional and mental fabric. The evocative, elegiac stories comprising Links of the Chain present the human threads woven through a small northern Wisconsin town. The tales span decades, with characters disappearing and re-emerging, forging, severing or repairing links, bound together by the vibrations and ethos of the remote northern woods and water. Reading the book feels at turns like watching the flickering 8mm films of home movies, flashes of a familiar past linking up with the present. Sherman, Wisconsin is the stage, the foundation and steadfast witness to life, death, loss, love and memory. -- Rebecca Murphy, Ludington, MI

Autorenporträt
As a kid in the back seat, making the long trek from Buffalo to the grandparents' cabin in northern Wisconsin, Will loved the small towns. Majoring in Geography, it was in the lit classes where he began to live in places such as Winesburg, Yoknapatawpha, Horton Bay, Brewer. Some of these chapters were written in those early days, and some recently to complete the mosaic. The themes are well-trod -- home and rootlessness; love, longing and loss; and the individual's place in the natural world, in his or her community, as well as within his or her own interior self. William James Harnack has worn many hats, writer, house painter, magazine and corporate editor, historic preservation commissioner, webmaster, music concert producer, son, husband, father, and hopes for time for much more.
