John Wareham

Chancey on Top John Wareham

The price of ambition, the value of love, and the meaning of dreams.
On the day his big time ambitions seem about to be realized, Chandler "Chancey" Haste glances into the rearview mirror of the limousine that bears him across Manhattan's Triboro bridge and catches the reflection of a scorching affair from his past overlapping continents to engulf him. This witty and irreverent picaresque novel exposes with wicked insight and aplomb the similar hypocrises that underlie romantic love and modern business. It chronicles the journey of a picaresque protagonist who pursues sex, love, and enlightenment on three continents and finds too much of everything. The story begins with a backward glance to a bouncing check and a reckless antipodean infatuation. It sweeps through marbled World Trade Center offices where the sweet life seems utterly assured. It ends in the shadows of a murky English mansion where the hero discovers the price of ambition, the value of love, and the meaning of dreams.
