Omschrijving
Jim Dodge's unforgettable outlaw epic. Introduced by Thomas Pynchon
This novel is remarkable for its breadth. The AMO is skilfully woven into the fabric of real America, and Dodge's sweeping take on that country, combined with the humanity of each of his vast array of characters, lends this book a particular kind of majesty
Within half an hour of starting this novel, I was absolutely hooked . . . it kept me guessing all the way to the end
Reading Stone Junction is like being at a non-stop party in celebration of everything that matters
A post-psychedelic coming-of-age fable that's part Thomas Pynchon, part Tolkien, part Richard Brautigan, a story that owes as much to The Once and Future King as it does to Huckleberry Finn . . . Stone Junction is a rollicking, frequently surprising adventure-cum-fairy tale
A work of genius
An irresistible kaleidoscope of manic, tragic and exquisitely funny Americana
As good as writing gets
A glorious narrative, peopled by characters of genuine imaginative force
One of the most original literary voices around
Jim Dodge should make the John Grishams of this world weep into their overstuffed pillows
Jim Dodge is the author of three novels, including Fup and Not Fade Away, and a collection of poetry and short prose, Rain on the River. He lived for many years on an isolated ranch in western Sonoma County and has been by turns an apple picker, a carpet layer, a teacher, a professional gambler, a shepherd for five years, a woodcutter and an environmental restorer.
