A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall is an exuberant literary debut--a novel of real ideas and a playful examination of our in-between world, one that explores the nature of family, identity, art, and belief while also marking the introduction of an original new voice in contemporary fiction. Owen Burr is the six-foot-eight, Olympics-bound senior captain of the Stanford University water polo team. In his final collegiate match, however, he suffers a catastrophic injury that destroys his hopes and dreams, flattening his entire world into two dimensions. His identity as an athlete erased but his ambition indelible, he defies his father, a classics professor who lives in a "cave" of his own making, and moves to Berlin with naive plans to make conceptual art. Then he disappears. Without a single clue as to his son's location, Dr. Burr embarks upon a tour of public lectures from Greece to Germany to Iceland in an attempt to draw out his endangered son. Instead, he foments a violent uprising.

This is a murder mystery. A story about inmates from prison and juvenile hall who discover their inner beauty, the power they have to make right choices and their first glimpse of hope for a better life. The Dream Team formed with a diverse group of friends, lovers, ex-inmates and acquaintances. Houston and Wilamina were in-mates at the same time in Lancers Womens’ Prison. They both had received long sentences for murder. Mr. Lagunta, an attorney, took on their cases and had the guilty charges reduced to involuntary manslaughter. Once they were released, they decided to dedicate themselves to helping others make better choices and thus the Dream Team was born.
