Powerless to be Born

By Rodney Robert Brown

Book - Powerless to be Born by Rodney Robert Brown

Powerless to be Born is a literary novel written with multiple layers.  First, it is the story about Hemsley Nicholson, an artist and actor, who moves his family from New York City to central Pennsylvania, thus revealing the clash between urban and rural cultures.  The reader follows him for five years through episodic experiences until reaching a climax which culminates in life-transforming conclusions.  Moreover, it is also a mature love story about a married couple seeking rejuvenation of an earlier idyllic existence.

            Second, it is an intense psychological study of various independent characters who collectively lay bare the broken, divisive heart of America, while being at the same time an examination of the social and political ailments that ravage the nation and the globe.

            Third, filled with detail from the artist’s eye and the actor’s analysis, it offers insight into the art world and dissolves illusions of grandeur in the thespian sphere.

            Finally, at its deepest and most thematic layer, it is about one man’s search to free himself from the dualism of opposites into a trinary harmony of sublimity that could change the essence of individuals and alter the destiny of our planet.
