A Mind of One's Own
Reminiscent of the Joyce-Beckett connection, My Divided Brain, by W.R. Baker, is part memoir, part history-all riot.
Told in a colloquial manner and through poetic notes and dialogue, this book explores the confrontational nature of our society-its dialectic which prevents strong leaders from emerging, restricts the pace of political change, encourages technological innovation and downplays a broad-based educational reform.
My Divided Brain depicts a society that seems both bloated and refined, a society whose media border on the insane.
This book is a chant, a hip-hop song, about America's conflicts and contradictions.
