Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Second printing [stated]. [10]. 342 pages. DJ in plastic sleeve. In Saigon during the last stages of the Vietnam war, a small-time journalist named John Converse thinks he'll find action - and profit - by getting involved in a big-time drug deal. But back in the States, things go badly wrong for him. Robert Anthony Stone (August 21, 1937 - January 10, 2015) was an American novelist, journalist, and college professor. He was five times a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction, which he did receive in 1975 for his novel Dog Soldiers. Time magazine included this novel in its list 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005. Stone was also twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and once for the PEN/Faulkner Award. During his lifetime Stone received material support and recognition including Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships, the five-year Mildred and Harold Strauss Living Award, the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature, and the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Award. Stone also offered his own support and recognition of writers during his lifetime, serving as Chairman of the PEN/Faulkner Foundation Board of Directors for over thirty years. Stone's best known work is characterized by action-tinged adventures, political concerns and dark humor. Many of his novels are set in unusual, exotic landscapes of raging social turbulence, such as the Vietnam War; a post-coup violent banana republic in Central America; Jim Crow-era New Orleans, and Jerusalem on the verge of the millennium. In 1971 he traveled to Vietnam as a correspondent for an obscure British journal called INK.[28] His time there served as the inspiration for his second novel, Dog Soldiers (1974), which features a journalist smuggling heroin from Vietnam. It shared the 1975 U.S. National Book Award with The Hair of Harold Roux by Thomas Williams. Dog Soldiers was adapted into the film Who'll Stop the Rain (1978) starring Nick Nolte, from a script that Stone co-wrote. Derived from a Kirkus review: Dog Soldiers is the best dope novel in recent memory, filled with its spirituality from addicts of every chemical persuasion. As the novel grows it also twists, turns and reverses. John Converse, a fear-ridden writer in search of a book in Vietnam, has been so corrupted by the satanic horror of death in the war that he sells himself out and tries to ship three kilos of heroin to his wife in Frisco by way of a psychopathic sailor (who conducts himself as a neo-Nietzschean samurai). Hicks, the sailor, and Converse's wife Marge are attacked by some Stateside burn artists â" then begin a long flight from a corrupt federal official and his insane henchmen. Converse arrives in Frisco and is taken captive and tortured over a kitchen stove by the narks. As their prisoner, he joins in the chase after Marge, Hicks and the scag, which leads to a Zen Disneyland monastery on a Mexican mountaintop. The novel bears its own weight of infinite evil in the endlessly bizarre parade of spiritual zombies and double-dealers, while the language is stripped and strong, unerring dialogue and characterization.
