Looking For Dean: A Novel

All the action takes place on a summer night in 1979 as two teenagers search for a quarter-pound of pot. As responsible adults sleep after watching Saturday Night Live, lifelong friends Mike and Dave travel through a suburban and exurban world of loose waitresses, wild bonfires, psychedelic drugs, the birth of rap and punk, and outlaws. The boys show uncanny resourcefulness as the sweaty after-midnight escalates from teenage boredom to adventure, menace and violence.A memoir of sorts about the THC-soaked late 1970s, "Looking for Dean" would join a list of books about trouble in the American suburbs. It suggests how drug culture and distant adults sometimes generated children able to navigate what from the outside looks like a pastoral existence but truly holds all the dangers of any dark human community.
