Stone Junction - Jim Dodge

Another mainly blokey book for when you are trying to find your way in life. This time with positivity. This is American counter-culture, and reminds me of Tom Robbins and other Seattle literary hippies. However, Dodge has managed to pull off a contemporary picaresque novel about self-belief, opportunity and philosophy that should see any backpacker through a fumble with the locals and an overnight bus journey to nowhere.... Good if you’re in the mood – shame about the terrible dust jacket.
