Publisher's Synopsis
A biographical narrative of a modern Black man in a transient America. The story of the Diaspora as embodied by one ordinary, flawed man, a struggling, aspiring actor vacillating between grandeur and squalor, between Grace and apathy, between Greatness and mediocre. Part-standup, part one-man tour-de-force, David Brown as the man, the actor, and the character is a fascinating antihero the likes of LeRoi Jones' best work. In Higheroglyphics we find the admirably flawed portrait of an artist, complicit in complacency, yet dreaming of a brighter Destiny and Dignity in a world in which he is anathema, despite all his efforts.
