Well, this was to be the weekend I had hoped to post the first chapter of the No Relation podcast. Unfortunately, a head cold has thwarted my almighty schedule. My voice currently sounds like an odd hybrid of Tom Waits with a sore throat and Jabba the Hutt. So no Chapter 1 this weekend. Fingers crossed for next. Thanks for your patience…
I didn’t identify the bear metaphor in the book. Papa Hemingway was not a bear. The bulls in the marketplace are not bears. The sports team are not bear cubs. ????? Please explain the bear metaphor? My husband enjoys your books.
The bears are just a metaphor for someone living with a famous name. You see the man in the bear suit represents the characters in the novel who have famous names even if they aren’t famous themselves. They aren’t really bears but may seem like bears because of their name. Hope you enjoy the novel.
