Summary

Summary

New York Times bestseller

Finalist for the National Book Award

The best-selling, PEN-Faulkner award-winning author of The Tortilla Curtain, T.C. Boyle is hailed as "America's most imaginative contemporary novelist" (Newsweek). In 1970 a California commune pulls up stakes and moves to the harsh interior of Alaska. The members establish Drop City, a back-to-the-land town, on a foundation of peace and free love. But their idealism cannot prevent tension from rippling through the group. The results are anything but predictable in this honest, surprising evocation of a time period and its enduring beliefs.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Not only an entertaining romp through the madness of the countercultural ’70s but a stirring parable about the American dream as well.” New York Times
“A vastly entertaining tale that balances the exuberance and the excesses, the promise and the preposterousness of the counterculture perhaps better than any other work of American fiction.” Los Angeles Times Book Review
“While the Day-Glo of the hippie era has long since faded, this novel brings it all back home—and helps us see how much in the American grain it all really was.” Publishers Weekly
