Stone had an almost prophetic grasp of the spirit of his age, which he captured with crystalline clarity in each of his novels. Of course, he was also a sharp and brilliant observer of American life, and his nonfiction writing is revelatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Eye You See With—the first and only collection of Robert Stone’s nonfiction—was carefully selected by award-winning novelist and Stone biographer Madison Smartt Bell. Divided into three sections, the collection includes the best of Stone’s war reporting, his writing on social change, and his reflections on the art of fiction. This is an extraordinary volume that offers up a clear-eyed look at the twentieth century and secures Robert Stone’s place as one of the most original figures in all of American letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis essential collection captures the keen insight and unflinching honesty that defined Robert Stone’s nonfiction:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReporting from the Front Lines:\u003c\/b\u003e Witness the chaos of wartime Saigon and the Suez Crisis through Stone’s unsparing journalistic eye, pieces that would later inform his National Book Award-winning novel, \u003ci\u003eDog Soldiers\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Art of Fiction:\u003c\/b\u003e Explore Stone’s reflections on the moral purpose of fiction and his sharp, insightful literary criticism on authors from Stephen Crane to Graham Greene.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Counterculture Moment:\u003c\/b\u003e Journey into the psychedelic revolution with a clear-eyed observer who was there, chronicling his time with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePolitical and Social Commentary:\u003c\/b\u003e Experience the seismic shifts of the twentieth century through a master stylist’s unflinching essays on American life, politics, and social change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43371896045823,"sku":"9780358505013","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780358505013_s600x595.jpg?v=1780333096","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780358505013","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
