Maker A Wish, Shove Out the Candles Real Hard — Darren Celebrates Another Year Indoors
Darren Chase arrived at the library a number of years ago and continues to be there, doing something with his hands, hiding his heart in his smile. Don’t you wish you were him? Don’t you wish he was like all of us? But in some ways he is like us –or at least me– because I am sometimes him. 
Darren’s story is about a librarian. He gets this award for the way his story is being told. Don’t ask how it ends. He is proud of that part in the story where he helps that researcher with her question about big pharma biopiracy, indigenous Amazonian shamans, and sustainable development.
Indeed, some consider this award a testament to the tension between what is and what we wish. But there it goes, slouching, bleeding money out the eyes, and there isn’t anything we can do about that.
