Overview
"This thesis comprises the prologue and first ten chapters of a novel in progress. Set in 2021 and 2022, the story follows Blake Burden, a middle-aged married father of two living in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Through a third-person POV, Blake's struggles are chronicled as he attempts to reconcile his modest suburban life with his former career: as an internationally recognized touring drummer with a rock band. Following an injury and a dispute with his band's management, Blake had departed his career as a musician in his twenties, since working in insurance sales. The narrative sees Blake distancing himself from his identity as a musician while at the same time yearning for the excitement of those bygone years. As a result, Blake attempts to regain the spotlight by launching into a political career with reckless disregard for others." -- Abstract
