I AM:AM I

This is a story about Robert Austin, an iconoclastic, womanizing, nonbelieving, unhappy rogue who finds an inviting ray of sunlight between the clouds of his confusion and discontent and decides to take on the challenge of mastering his emotional shortcomings and empowering his behavior. Little does he know the magnitude of his commitment to undoing the undoing in his life. He repeatedly arises, phoenixlike, from his defeats in an Odysseus-like saga, fighting battles in his dreams, psychoses, and the temptations of Jesus, while rallying himself in psychoanalysis, med school, law school, and humanistic discovery.
