The Trip

Autor Jeffrey Koconis
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Two teenage boys, from their comfortable haven in America's heartland, decide to hitchhike to California during the heyday of the anti-Vietnam War counterculture. They are on a quest to experience the essence of the hippie phenomenon, which they have innocently embraced as their youthful identity. It is a brief snapshot of history, as seen by these young travelers, who are learning about themselves, while finding out how they are perceived through some unexpected, and harsh realities on the road. The journey's events embody the unbridled energy and adventurous enthusiasm of becoming an adult, along with the distasteful and morose realities from which life's lessons are all too often learned. Humor and love, are blended with fear and hatred, in this coming of age tale. Based on a true story, it reflects the attitudes of the times, and how people were strongly, and sometimes violently divided due to the Vietnam War. The country's own coming of age, and loss of innocence, mirrors the adventure which transforms these young boys into men. Young readers of any generation at the crossroads of becoming an adult, will find insight into their own experiences and feelings, and relate to the main character's timeless pursuit. Those who lived through this era will appreciate the historic, and memorable atmosphere of our society depicted in this story. Peace.
