My Brother, My Enemy

Brothers Davy and Ken Mallory are future inventors of television, passionately devoted to their work. They will repeatedly face the arrogant refusals of potential sponsors, the greed of unscrupulous merchants, human stupidity, and baseness. However, it is not fire and water that will lead the talented young men to a brutal inner conflict, but the brass trumpets represented by the marriage of their beloved sister Margot to a wealthy man willing to finance their work. As if that weren't enough, Ken and Davy are in love with the same woman... The fate of the inventor is a theme not new to American literature. However, few have managed to portray the psychology of invention as truthfully, deeply, and fully as Mitchell Wilson in the novel My Brother, My Enemy.
