Soft cover. Zustand: As New. First Paperback Edition, 1st printing. Introduction by Thomas Pynchon. 355pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "STONE JUNCTION is a wise and wildly imaginative novel about Daniel Pearse, an orphaned child who is taken under the wings of the AMO--Alliance of Magicians and Outla…ws. An assortment of sages sharpen Daniel's wide-eyed outlook until he has the concentration of a card shark Zen master, via apprenticeships in meditation, safecracking, poker, and the art of walking through walls. The AMO know wizards are made, not born, and this unconventional education sets Daniel on the trail of a strange, six-pound diamond sphere, held by the U.S. government in a New Mexico vault, rumored to be the Philosopher's Stone or the Holy Grail. [] Shadowing the slippery netherworlds of role-playing games like Magic or Dungeons & Dragons, Daniel's quest to retrieve the magic stone and discover who killed his mother becomes a bravura act of storytelling, both a free-spirited adventure and a parable about the powers within us all." [publisher copy] "Reading STONE JUNCTION is like being at a nonstop party in celebration of everything that matters."--Thomas Pynchon. "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. It also has a sweetness about it and an indigenous American optimism, as if somewhere out there, beyond the shopping malls, Oz is waiting."--The New York Times Book Review. "A short but remarkable life leads wizard-in-training Daniel Pearse to the 'junction' (entrance) of the legendary philosopher's stone, but not before this novel chronicles his extraordinary education. . . Daniel's unwed mother, Annalee, falls for AMO poet Shamus Malloy, whose plot to steal plutonium results in her violent death. Young Daniel, in pursuit of his mother's betrayer, joins AMO, . . wants to learn who betrayed Annalee, but is distracted by the task of stealing a glowing, perfectly spherical diamond from the White Sands Proving Grounds, an easy proposition for the well-schooled youth. But instead of relinquishing the stone to AMO, as he had sworn to, Daniel surrenders to total obsession with its mysteries. Aptly subtitled 'an alchemical potboiler,' and smartly crafted, Dodge's third novel may be his first cult classic."--Publishers Weekly. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
