Roper, Robert Cuervo Tales
Hardcover: 1993 Ticknor & Fields, NYC 0899199887 / 9780899199887
Book: Very Fine. DJ: Fine. Shipping weight 440 (grams).
These ten interlinked stories, set in California and seen through the lens of memory, chronicle the life of Abel Richards, a man who came of age in the late 1960s and witnessed much of the turmoil of the next decade: drugs, the 'back to the earth' movement, experimentation with love and its permutations, a marriage not properly tended and allowed to founder. Set in the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains and portrayed with Robert Roper's keen eye and disciplined prose, the tales play powerfully on the themes of memory, desire, and regret and explore the relationship between the sexes with compassion and insight. Whether recalling a friend lost to drugs, a marriage slipping into disarray, or the communal life of the 1960s, with its sexual freedom and economic and emotional dependence on drugs, Roper tells these stories with an honesty and richness that vividly bring back to life one of our pivotal eras while subtly holding it up to the judgment of time. The collection concludes with a remarkable pair of stories about a son who first comes to Richards' attention eighteen years after his birth. Cuervo Tales is a marvelous achievement by a writer in full command of his material: unflinching, evocative, deeply moving. It will be enjoyed as much for its forceful storytelling as for its powerful portrayal of a period now as distant as the mountains of Atlantis.
