Mary and Bickerman are the center of their circle of friends—but these<br />
friends are strangers as well as family to them. In the course of year, under<br />
the influence of a stressful wedding and a whole lot of alcohol, relationships<br />
and nerves are twisted and broken as the dynamics of the cozy-seeming<br />
group shift. Secrets are kept, emotions withheld, and it doesn’t look like<br />
it’s going to end well for anyone.<br />
Told always in first person, but not the same person, and unfolding in<br />
double-helix chronology that provides a Rashomon-like narration, Chum is<br />
the story of love, liquor, and death.<br />
