Summary
It’s the start of spring semester, sophomore year at Brown University, and Mike Wheeler has a trio of problems. His parents aren’t happy that he recently declared his study concentration as English Literature rather than something more sensible. His friends are all moving on with their own lives and it feels like everyone is leaving him behind, even Will despite the fact that he’s only five minutes down the road at RISD. And the fantasy manuscript that he’s writing has a romance subplot that just keeps falling flat and storylines that keep brushing a little too close to the reality of Mike’s life. Mike doesn’t want to press too deeply into the character dynamics between the main trio of characters in his novel, despite the fact that his professor keeps urging him to do so, afraid that if he does then he might have to face some truths about his feelings for his best friend that he’s been keeping buried deep in his subconscious.
// An exploration of the complicated mind of Mike Wheeler through the lens of his novel “The Hand and The Heart.”
