?Brother Dumb is the memoir of a reclusive American literary icon. Brother
Dumb is a how-to manual for meaningful critical engagement with the real
world. Brother Dumb is a celebration of innocence, youth, and altruism.
Brother Dumb is a true story of self-imposed exile. . . . Brother Dumb is also
a work of fiction. Brother Dumb begins in the mid-40s, but spans decades,
delving deep into the five tortured relationships that have shaped one
writer's psycho-sexual history - but it also details his bitter literary
decline and withdrawal from public life. Brother Dumb is a misanthrope. His
withdrawal from the world is as famous, or infamous, as his writing -
something that he takes great pains to explain is not a desperate cry for
attention. Attention is the last thing Brother Dumb wants. So why publish this
memoir? Why expose himself to a world of stupid, lecherous, greedy, evil, and
calculating people? Because he can't not write. And because, somewhere out
there, a kindred soul might actually be reading. . . .
