Characters

Characters

Commentary: I received feedback from a handful of early readers that there are a lot of characters in the book and an org chart might help. I’ve included those below. Not all of the characters are of equal importance, and some important ones are not in the org chart. Hopefully it does give you some sense of where some of the main characters fit.

Org Charts

Polymodal: Post-Bankruptcy (Part I)

Polymodal: Pre-Bankruptcy (Part II): The “Under the Bus” Years

Polymodal: Reorganized (Part III)
