"Opening the trunk on the American sixties might seem at first to be a fearsone, even a rueful, undertaking. However, the incomperable novelist Robert Stone is obviously destiny's choice for the role of narrator-guide. Stone has all the writerly refinements. He writes with great clarity, felicity, and with perfect pitch. But more significantly he writes with unnostalgic compassion and intelligence for that tumultuous time, now surprisingly low on our horizon, but that by some necromancy of history has presented us with all we see around us today." - Richard Ford, from the rear outer jacket. "A Memoir Of America's Most Turbulent, Whimsical Decade, In The Words of the Man Who Experienced It All.From the New York City of Kline and De Kooning to the jazz era of New Orleans' French Quarter to Ken Kesey's psychedelic California, Prime Green explores the 1960s in all its weird, innocent, fascinating glory. An account framed by two wars, it begins with Robert Stone's last year in the Navy, when he took part in an Antarctic expedition navigating the globe, and ends in Vietnam, where he was a correspondent in the days following the invasion of Laos. Told in scintillating detail, Prime Green zips from coast to coast, from days spent in the raucous offices of Manhattan tabliods to the breathtaking beaches of Mexico, and merry times aboard the bus with Kesey and the Pranksters. Building on personal vignettes from Stone's travels across America, this powerful memoir offers the legendary novelist's inside perspective on a time many understand only peripherally. These accounts of the 1960s are riveting not only because Stone is a master storyteller but because he was there, in the thick of it, through all the wild times. From these incredible experiences, Prime Green forges a moving and adventurous portrait of a unique moment in American history." - from the inner front jacket flap.
