Ever since A Hall of Mirrors depicted the wild side of New Orleans
in the 1960s, Robert Stone (1937-2015) has situated novels where
America has shattered and the action is at a pitch. In Dog
Soldiers, he covered the Vietnam War and drug smuggling. A Flag for
Sunrise captured revolutionary discontent in Central America.
Children of Light exposed the crass values of Hollywood.
Outerbridge Reach depicted how existential angst can lead to a
longing for heroic transcendence. The clash of religions in
Jerusalem drove Damascus Gate. Traditional town-gown tensions amid
twenty-first-century culture wars propelled Death of the
Black-Haired Girl. Stone's reputation rests on his mastery of the
craft of fiction. These interviews are replete with insights about
the creative process as he responds with disarming honesty to
probing questions about his major works. Stone also has fascinating
things to say about his remarkable life - a schizophrenic mother, a
stint in the navy, his involvement with Ken Kesey's Merry
Pranksters, and his presence at the creation of the counterculture.
From the publication of A Hall of Mirrors until his death in 2015,
Stone was a major figure in American literature.
