From the
Beatnik cafes of San Francisco, hanging out with the likes
of Ginsberg, to an Army boot camp in Georgia, this novel imaginatively
recaptures the American atmosphere at the beginning of the
Vietnam War and the plight of one young man caught up in the
madness.
Selected Reviews
"Set
in 1963, this wonderfully warm novel imaginatively recaptures
the American atmosphere at the beginning of the Vietnam war
and depicts one mans resolve to meet manhood on his
own terms. Letters to Nanette is really one long, open letter
to a young nation that refuses to throw off its own adolescent
misconceptions of growing up.
-The American Library Association
Letters
to Nanette explores, richly and humorously, one of the dilemmas
faced by the early 60s generation. The alienated bohemianism
of North Beach and Berkeley that became a well spring for
the movements beginning to emerge gives the book a substantial
flavor of an all-too-faded history."
-The San Francisco Review of Books
This
book provides not only good reading, but also a profitable
trip back to a fateful moment in national history.
