The novel begins with a flashback, a dream Marty has about being in a firefight as an imbedded journalist with Marines in Afghanistan, on the eve of the first election, and ends on the day of the inauguration.
The novel is not about the politics, didactic or polemical.
It is Marty’s story and the story of those he meets as he struggles to remain true to himself under the most difficult circumstances. In this way, MR. BLACK AND WHITE becomes everyone’s story.
Paul Allen is a novelist, screenwriter and filmmaker.
