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 -- 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."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Stone, Robert, $d 1937-2015. 600 10 $a Stone, Robert, $d 1937-2015 $x Technique. 600 17 $a Stone, Robert, $d 1937-2015. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00069863 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Novelists, American $y 20th century $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Civilization, Modern $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Civilization, Modern $y 20th century. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY COLLECTIONS / American / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / American / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a Civilization, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863073 650 7 $a Novelists, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01039688 650 7 $a Technique. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355129 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423832 700 1 $a Heath, William, $d 1942- $e interviewer. $e interviewer. 830 0 $a Literary conversations series 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021012107.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171107013641.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ADB16814A80111E7B9D4614397128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
