Donald I. Fine

Midnight Cowboy is the powerful and unforgettable novel of the compelling need of human beings for one another -- a wrenching story of pain and loss.   Freewheeling loser Joe Buck arrives in New York City and embarks on a quest to live the American dream. Along the way he meets street hustler and petty criminal Ratso Rizzo. Together, the two form an extraordinary relationship full of heartbreak and hope, resulting in a compelling American novel about the bonds of friendship.  This classic novel, originally published in 1965, was the source of the OscarÂ®-winning film starring Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight.

The Season of the Witch is to other novels what Woodstock is to a chamber music concert. By bringing to it the full impact of his exceptional storytelling powers, Herlihy has produced what may well be regarded as the first major work of fiction of the Aquarian Age.

SIMON AND SCHUSTER

"One of the best and most convincing novels written so far about the lifestyle of the Woodstock generation." (Publishers Weekly) It's the fall of 1969, and Gloria Random's best friend John has been called up for the draft. To escape it, they decide to run away from their Midwest town and their mundane lives. Renaming themselves Witch and Roy, they head to New York City in search of Witch's biological father. Landing in the East Village, they are pulled into a community of drug use, mystical rituals, and sexual experimentation as they try to hide deeper and deeper from the realities they left behind. James Leo Herlihy's third novel captures the mood and grooves of late-60s New York at the height of the anti-war movement and the counterculture revolution. With his trademark wit and insight, Herlihy brings together a colorful cast of characters ripped right from the heart of one of the most turbulent eras in American history.
