Marrying the Ketchups [View all]

I just read a book review of this new book, Chicago background. But I liked this paragraph: three cousins trying to scavenge and repackage the pieces of their lives in the wake of the 2016 election.

Their existential despair comes on the heels of their grandfather's death in late October, just a week before his beloved Cubs win their first World Series in 108 years. As one of them observers: "Three impossible events right after the other. Nothing makes sense anymore."
