Here's Waldo

Spanning the late 90s to the 2010s HERES WALDO is a sprawling tragicomic novel that tracks the story of Waldo Collins a nerdy kid born in a torn-up town in the shadow of Chicago-unincorporated Des Plaines IL. Its a story about what it was like to come of age as the new millennium dawned with all its irrevocable changes. A story about the family bonds were born with and those we create along the way and about using humor to find light in the dark. About generational trauma and the continuation (or completion) of cycles of violence. Its here we follow Waldo from age eight to twenty-four as he figures out his place in the world leaves his hometown to become a writer and ultimately comes back to face everything (and everyone) he left behind. Heres a story of loss love grief guilt and a search for meaning. Heres Waldo.
