Owen Burr is the gifted and promising captain of the Stanford water polo team. After he suffers a catastrophic injury that destroys his hopes for the future, however, he moves to Berlin to become an artist, and then disappears—compelling his father, Professor Joseph Burr, to travel the world to find him.
Tracing a path from California to Athens to Iceland, A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall offers a persuasive vision of faith, ambition, art, family, and the myths we write for ourselves.
