Here, I’ll be hosting jaunts to the way things could have been and offering glimpses at the way things still might be, places where people strive after dreams, fight back at disaster, struggle with demons in both themselves and others.
Wherever the excursions take us, the terrain will be intense: perhaps joining someone seeking a lover, or another trying to get over losing one, or witnessing acts of creation and moments of self-discovery, or listening to lies being told and as secrets get discovered, or watching characters slide deeper into their illusions.

Hungry for longer journeys into maybe worlds?
JONATHAN HAS THE TALENT. SCOTT HAS THE DRIVE. THEY’VE PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE FOR THEIR BAND. NOW THEY DISCOVER THE TRUE PRICE OF EVERYTHING THEY’VE HAD TO SACRIFICE.
At the beginning of this striking novel, two longtime friends face the crushing realization that the fame and freedom they’ve been chasing for years might be nothing but a fantasy. Then on an unplanned trip to Chicago with its vibrant music scene, they abruptly abandon everything for that city and one last shot at making it.
In Hunt’s hands, this “sharply atmospheric” tale of struggling to matter and escape anonymity becomes something far greater: a dazzling dive into our deeply human need to connect with another person. The story first swings between Jonathan’s voice, whose world is full of passion, opportunity—and near impossible choices—and Scott’s voice, whose world turns on power, control—and avoiding his role in a close friend’s death. Soon joining this duet, Jennifer’s voice brings a world steeped in the imagery of TV, films and magazine advertising.
No other writer working today moves as effortlessly between such startlingly different points of view. Harnessing their contradictions, Hunt is finally able to demand answers to the questions of how it’s possible to create anything of beauty or even to love when we are all just the misunderstood characters in the stories other people tell themselves.
As Jonathan, Scott, and Jennifer each struggle to find a personal answer to these questions, late 80s Chicago is resurrected in “masterful detail” and a band that readers will wish had existed comes vividly to life. In the end, it’s hopeful, tragic, and triumphant in turn, ultimately claiming its place as “a worthy […] addition to the literature of rock n’ roll’s agony and ecstasy”.
If you liked Ellis’s Rules of Attraction or Rushdie’s The Ground Beneath Her Feet or just always wanted to play “live on stage,” you’ll love this passionate ode to friendship, love, and the need to create.
Get A Perfect Blindness today and experience the madness and joy of rock’n’roll dreams.
