Like many children of major celebrities, Rock Brynner tried to carve his own path.
Cocteau was Brynners godfather.
He turned that period into his first novel,The Ballad of Habit and Accident(1981).

Ali referred to him as his bodyguard, even though the roles were unlikely.
Moving along, Brynner met Isaac Tigrett in a bar.
The restaurant was, for a time, the place to see and be seen in Manhattan.
That lasted a year.
By the mid-1980s, Brynner returned to writing.
After receiving his doctorate, Mr. Brynner taught at Marist and at Western Connecticut State University.
