AT LAST, THE NOVEL HAS
BEEN PUBLISHED!
AUTHOR’S 50 YEAR
PROMISE TO HIMSELF
DEVLIN, A Psychological Novel
BOOK’S DESCRIPTION:
The year is 1968, a year that severed the moral
certainty of the past from the future shattering traditional anchors and
reliable reference points. Seamus,
“Dirk” Devlin, a young Irish American chemical engineer of provincial roots,
finds himself in South Africa to facilitate the formation of a new chemical conglomerate
in the era of Afrikaner apartheid, a policy beyond his bucolic grasp.
A quarter century past WWII, the United States staggers
into the future, its security once nestled comfortably between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, is now challenged by a hegemony for which it has no history,
but which it embraces with characteristic hubris.
Devlin personifies this high jinx, armed with his
technology, but culturally programmed for another time and a different
world. Finding himself self-estranged on
the world stage, he enters a society equally out of step with the times. The psychosexual tension that unfolds
introduces him to a self that he did not know existed. This psychological novel introduces the
reader to Devlin’s world, a world that still holds the modern mind hostage.
BOOK’S AUTHOR:
James R. Fisher, Jr., Ph.D. is an
industrial/organization psychologist who has written a score of books in the
genre of social psychology. He has
previously written “In the Shadow of the Courthouse: A Memoir of the 1940s
Written as a Novel.” DEVLIN is a 50 year
promise to himself that he would write such a book one day.
