“At the time, acid made me consider questions of reality, the difference, as someone said, between words and silence. It also brought back a lot of latent religious feelings in me that I had turned my back on.” #robertstone #american #novelist #shortstorywriter #essayist #deathanniversary #practicedying https://www.instagram.com/p/B7JsutbhZFB/?igshid=1hbkj82n6rsiv

“We carry nemesis inside us.” Remembering perhaps one of the most under recognized American authors despite his multiple near-wins for the big prizes (twice finalist for a Pulitzer, once finalist for Pen/Faulkner, five times finalist for the National Book Award—he won it once in ‘75). #robertstone #american #novelist #shortstorywriter #essayist #screenplays #aflagforsunrise #dogsoldiers #deathanniversary (at Highland Square, Akron) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsc3sfTAAyZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=au142papolih

6/7 books I bought in November! Today marks the day that I actually put them on my shelves with my other books, not keeping them in a stack together sitting in front of said library. . . #books #fortodayiamaboy #kimfu #deathoffheblackhairedgirl #robertstone #thesunisalsoastar #nicolayoon #thefateofthetearling #erikajohansen #foreversong #juliekagawa #areunionofghosts #judithclairemitchell #thecitystainedred #samsykes #bookhaul

I think cultural undergrounds develop in the void left by the abdication of the official culture. During the sixties, so many august institutions seemed to have no self-confidence. The universities, corporations, the very fabric of the state. Everything you pushed just seemed to fall over. Everything was up for grabs. For me, the counterculture was like a party that spilled out into the world until one had the odd feeling in society that one was walking around looking at the results of a party that had ended a few years before—a big experiment. But there was no program, everybody wanted different things. I think Kesey wanted a cultural revolution, the nature of which was uncertain; he was just making it up as he went along. Other people were into political reform. Others thought the drugs would fix it all. Peace and love and dope. —Robert Stone, Paris Review, the Art of Fiction No. 90
