The Havenauts: a love story

By Jerome William Berglund

A fragmented, kaleidoscopic portrait of an aborted young adulthood, in the worst corners Los Angeles and the entertainment industry have to offer. This novel follows a pair of starving artists, in a relationship and careers whose maturation have been rudely arrested, and doomed to fail despite their best efforts, for economic reasons before they have even begun. They further grapple with addiction, promiscuity, and egos which do not help matters any. The narrative is structured episodically, organized around an illuminating array of thematically significant, iconic locations, both familiar and legendary, to residents of the city and also for those who know them from portrayals in popular media. About the Author: A graduate of the University of Southern California's Cinema-Television Production program, Jerome Berglund spent a picaresque decade in the entertainment industry before returning to the Midwest where he was born and raised. His recent and forthcoming writing publications include short stories in Paragon Press, Stardust, and the Watershed Review, a play in Iris Literary Journal, and poetry in the Dewdrop, Wild Roof, and a Flying Ketchup Press anthology collection. He is also an established, award-winning fine art photographer, whose black and white pictures have been exhibited in galleries across New York, Minneapolis, and Santa Monica.
