Becoming Brown

Brown has become tramatized by the random violence of the city and the intense alienation of human existence. In an effort to escape, he disappears into the rural landscape of America, where he encounters an eccentric family and much more than he had ever bargained for.Becoming Brown is an existential examination of the American Psyche, as the novel explores both mans indifference to himself, as well as his fellowman. It is only when Browns environment changes and brutality takes on an immediate cause, that he comes to realize the essence of being a human being in the world.
