This is a long story. It spans, roughly, the half-century between the mid-1960s and 2008. Think, Kennedy assassination to Obama inauguration. Think, three channels of black and white television plugged into the wall, to video streaming around the clock to smartphones all over the earth.

At the center of this story, in the center of that time, is Robert Komishane. It’s 1987. He’s a bright and gentle man in his 30s, a poet/philosopher. An intellectual who finds himself with a single option.

“If I stay with my parents the rest of my life or as long as they live, and live like a child, don’t go out, just be with them, it won’t be much of a life, but at least I won’t have to go through the other things.”
