Adirondack Summer, 1969: A Novel
Alan Robert Proctor
Synopsis "Adirondack Summer, 1969: A Novel"
“In Adirondack Summer, 1969, Alan Proctor has fashioned a marvelous world that invokes nostalgia and realism (and even magical realism) to superb effect. It’s a poignant, playful, intensely imagined book, written with grace and good humor and the kind of sentences all writers ache to produce. Highly recommended, whether you went to summer camp or not.” —Brian Shawver, author of Aftermath and The Language of Fiction. “I’m a big believer in good first lines to novels, and Alan Proctor grabs you from the first sentence.” —Frank Higgins, playwright, author of Black Pearl Sings. “This jewel of a novel ... reminds readers of the vulnerability and gifts of summer .... I fell right into the characters, the setting and the drama ....” —Denise Low, 2007-2009 Poet Laureate of Kansas, author of Melange Block and Jackalope. “Alan Proctor’s Adirondack Summer, 1969, is a meditation on grief and loss, told with the verve of a John Irving novel. Proctor’s vivid sense of place makes the novel’s setting—an arts camp in the Adirondacks—a character in its own right. His cast, led by Deidre and Myron Cravitz, weave a gorgeous, often comic, tapestry of their delusions, loves, and dreams. Any reader booking a cabin at Camp Cravitz should prepare to be moved and entertained.” —Whitney Terrell, author of The Good Lieutenant.
