We Should Not Be Friends

The Story of an Unlikely Friendship

by Will Schwalbe

By the time Will Schwalbe was a junior at college, he had already met everyone he cared to know. He also knew exactly whom he wanted to avoid- the jocks.

All this dramatically changes when he collided with Chris Maxey, a physically imposing, loud, star wrestler - and through a little-known secret society at Yale, the two forged a bond that has remained a mainstay of their lives for forty years and counting.

Tracking an extraordinary friendship over decades of challenge and change, Will Schwalbe's marvellous new work is a testament to the miracle of human connection.
