Donald Keith Benton’s Dramatic Novel About Entrepreneurship Amidst Radical Social Change Now Set for Exhibit at Printers Row Lit Fest 2024
Donald Keith Benton is a recently published author with quite an extensive background in business and administration. Yet, rather than just be another person releasing some kind of personal success manual, he went for something bolder, more creative, and more dramatic. He wrote “Tower of Payne,” a gripping novel about a man rising up the ranks of corporate success amidst the tensions of the civil rights movement. The novel will make a timely exhibit at the 2024 Printers Row Book Fair.
“A tale of one man rising up amidst the civil turmoil threatening to tear everything down.”
Those who have worked with Donald Keith Benton know him for being an experienced business professional and administrator. He once served as a supervisor for a national insurance company and was also a chairman of the board of trustees of the Israel Baptist Church.
Yet when he decided to publish his own book for the first time, he wasn’t content with writing essays or how-to guides for personal success. Instead, he wrote a powerful and riveting novel titled “Tower of Payne.”
“Tower of Payne” is a book that takes Benton’s background expertise to tell a story of one man’s rise up in corporate life but is beset by the tensions, corruption, and intrigue that come with it. What’s even more notable is that this story is set during the American civil rights movement, a period that put more strain on the aspirations of young entrepreneurs who want to be a part of a much-needed change yet must face the harsh realities of those clinging to a flawed system.
Its main character is Blake Payne, who has spent years working up to the top of Jones Paper Warehouse and has become a respectable business leader in his own right. Yet it seems that the price of his success is proving steeper than he originally imagined.
Benton doesn’t shy away from presenting the story in the context of such a heated time in American history. He has even arranged to exhibit the book at Chicago’s famous Printers Row Lit Fest, the largest outdoor exhibit for books in the Midwest.
