BJ’s MOBILE GIFT SHOP is a story about one’s struggle with significance. In a culture that constantly questions if we’re living our biggest and best lives, this is an intimate look at someone who chooses the alternative. Even though he may live “small”, every day is an adventure for BJ— coming across unique situations constantly, as no two days are the same. This story is also about Chicago and the complexities this city is filled with, and though it struggles to find its place in the world (similar to BJ), it never forgets to enjoy every moment life has to offer.
