Stone Junction
by Jim DodgeStarting with his mother's 'roundhouse' right to a nun's jaw, Stone Junction is a modern odyssey of one man's quest for knowledge and understanding in a world where revenge, betrayal, revolution, mind-bending chemicals, magic and murder are the norm.
With jaw-dropping scope, a stiletto-sharp wit and an array of utterly bizarre characters, Jim Dodge has woven a mesmerising and age-defining tale.
Like a river constantly changing direction, Stone Junction is both stomach-clutching hilarious and heart-rendingly sad - but always utterly compelling.
Prepare to step into a world where nothing is ever as it seems.

Simply the most exciting, inspiring, surprising novel I have ever read. Get it if you'd love to immerse yourself in some mystical americana.
As many have said, it does read like a book of 2 halves, the first half being stronger and tighter. A book full of ideas and subversion.
Stone Junction is tremendously optimistic and incredibly romantic... It's a book written by an ultimate idealist...
