Chris Bachelder Synopsis: In Bear v. Shark by Chris Bachelder, Bear v. Shark II is set to take place in the soverign nation of Las Vegas. After a disappointing loss in the first computer-generated match-up, the bear is out for blood. With an essay entitled “Bear v. Shark: A Reason to Live,” young Curtis Norman wins a national contest and four tickets to the sold-out event. As the Normans head cross-country in their SUV, they encounter a dizzying barrage of voices weighing in on the upcoming spectacle – everyone from the Freudians, theologians, pundits, and self-published authors on the radio to the bear and shark fanatics, cultists, and resisters at pit stops along the way. Overwhelmed by factoids and ten-second debates, Mr. Norman grows ambivalent about the impending event and how the family just can’t seem to find a connection.
