Interact with Characters

DANIEL EIMAN

A man of quiet intellect and unresolved grief, Daniel seeks truth even when it hurts. Composed yet deeply feeling, he reads others with clarity but struggles to forgive himself. His calm conceals a spirit shaped by loss and disciplined compassion.

KEITH CHAMBERS

Brilliant, restless, and hungry for meaning, Keith hides behind charm and conviction. Beneath his polish lives a man aching to be understood. Around Daniel his defenses soften, revealing flashes of tenderness that suggest who he might become if love could prevail.

BRENT EVANS

Once an avid, accomplished athlete, Brent now carries his strength in presence rather than motion. His humor is dry, his insight quietly piercing. Beneath patience lies longing. Grounded and scarred, he understands that love endures not through perfection but through courage.

About the Book

In the tradition of Baldwin, Salinger, and Hesse, Entitlement is a profound exploration of consciousness and authenticity, a modern Bildungsroman about what it means to come home to oneself in an age of noise and illusion.

At the heart of the story are two men, Daniel Eiman and Keith Chambers, drawn together by truth, divided by circumstance, and ultimately transformed by love. Daniel, once a celebrated political activist turned teacher, carries the weight of a personal loss that shattered his faith in both politics and himself.

Keith, the privileged son of a powerful political family, has built his life on performance, pleasing his parents, his fiancée, and the public, while quietly suffocating beneath the weight of his own image. When Daniel enters his life, he awakens in Keith an awareness that defies everything he has been taught to value.

With lyrical precision and psychological depth, Blinn renders a portrait of modern manhood stripped bare, a story of awakening that is at once intimate and universal. Entitlement dares to ask what remains when identity, ideology, and reputation are no longer enough.

Ultimately, it is a love story in the truest sense, not simply between two men, but between the self and the soul, the mind and the heart, the mask and the truth that waits beneath it.

Unflinching yet deeply human, Entitlement reminds us that truth, once seen, can never be unseen, and that love, once awakened, alters the very fabric of our being.
