[Four Fathers 05] • Flint Stones in the Nascent Circus

Flint Stones gathers an incisive edge, chipping into the temper of those times. Joe Cebellum, Tommy Wanderby, Fred Etheridge, and Sam Thorn are again on the precipice, the place where the road and the sky collide. Whether it is drinking a fifth, taking the fifth, or just five easy pieces, Flint Stones in the Nascent Circus scours the early seventies. Things that likely never happened are remembered with relish and verve. No icon is left unturned- Nixon, Vietnam, Drugs, Free Love, the Grateful Dead, even Princeton University itself

The four characters maintain the cool. The crazy times are captured, days without Apps, iPads, or smart phones. “Heads in the clouds” vacillate. History, philosophy, and religion are again dressed down to reckon and give account. Music continues to make the Four Fathers' series go ‘round. Above all, humor rules the day. Flint Stones is a wholly spirited fifth book, governed by enduring principles and everlasting foibles. Its acts are an entertaining progression abounding from the Four preceding Volumes. At the same time, Volume V stands on its own. Make sure The Nascent Circus visits you.
