Author Description

No Sympathy for a Suburban White Kid identifies and penetrates the human condition within our modern society like no other novel on the bookshelves today. Cody Allen is a child of Einsteinium intellect growing up in a modern day suburbia. What environment could be more psychologically hygienic than for the development of such a gifted young mind - - possibly the adolescent psychiatric unit in which Cody finds himself at the age of twelve? The fine line between brilliance and insanity will come into question as well as all the beloved concepts that grant us security, safety, and yes a notion of sanity. From the rough streets of inner city Chicago in which this young man is forced to fend for himself at the age of fifteen, to the solace he finds in the wilderness of Wisconsin, Cody Allen takes us on a metaphysical and moral journey through a very young and brilliant mind. At the age of twenty, Cody Allen writes to us from a prison cell in which he is serving as life sentence without the possibility of parole. What has caused this young man to follow such a different path than his equivalent Albert Einstein? Could it be the influences of Theodore Kaczynski better known as the "Unabomber" or the influences of our modern society? The media has portrayed this very sensitive, caring and intelligent young man as "a murdering madman," but here is your opportunity to decide for yourself.
