In Different Times: A Fictional Memoir

In the tradition of "The Last Picture Show" and "A Separate Peace", "In Different Times" is set in the Pacific Northwest during the summer of 1966 and follows nineteen year-old Eddie Carr and his friends through the last turbulent summer of their adolescence. The place is Bremerton, Washington and the characters you meet are the survivors in the land of shipyards and munitions depots where work and love-lives are never more than an arm's length away from jealousy and revenge and the ominous reality of Vietnam. Recurring references to the area's Native American legacy--their stories, rituals, and relationship to the land--highlight the tragi-comic dimensions of the central characters and the shifting society they epitomize.
