Robert W. Norris, Expatriate Author Hello and welcome to my home page. Thanks for dropping by. I am the author of two expatriate novels, a novella used as a textbook in Japanese universities, and several articles on teaching English as a foreign language. My first novel Looking for the Summer, the story of a Vietnam War conscientious objector's adventures and search for identity on the road from Paris to Calcutta in 1977, is out of print now, but I still have a few copies left. E-mail me for detailed information. Christine Hall, editor at Alternative Approaches Magazine, wrote: "During the waning years of the Ford administration, a rather unlikely alliance was struck up between an American, an Iranian, and an Afghani.... Within weeks of this chance meeting, the American protagonist would find himself traveling overland to Iran, and then on to Afghanistan, Pakistan and eventually India, where the tale reaches a hopeful conclusion amid the squalor and depravity of Calcutta.... "In the hands of any author, Looking for the Summer would probably be a compelling read due to the inherent intrigue in the story's setting. But Norris is a masterful writer and storyteller, and he uses his craft to elevate this tale above mere 'compelling' or 'interesting' to the realm of uplifting and insightful. He deftly paints a portrait of his locations using a visual poetry that is neither self-conscious nor affected.... This is a fascinating novel, told in spellbinding English. I can't recommend it enough."

The place is the Kobe-Osaka area. A 33-year-old American drifter and Vietnam War veteran has just arrived in Japan seeking one more adventure and an escape from his past. A promiscuous, rebellious, 23-year-old Japanese woman has just returned from a two-year homestay in a Canadian mission, where she was sent by her parents to cure her suicidal behavior. A snobbish, upper-class, 22-year-old Japanese woman who cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality is about to graduate from university and enter the frightening world of adulthood. Three people searching for a place to belong. Three people dancing on a psychological highwire. Three people about to become enmeshed in a relationship that will change each of their lives forever. Toraware is a special novel that takes a penetrating look at the obsessions, suspense, grief, misunderstandings, and joys of people from very different cultures and backgrounds who are brought together by fate to find the separate life paths they must follow.

Word Wrap: A book review by Molly Martin Looking for the Summer by Robert W Norris Jacobyte Books Fiction ISBN 1740530306 eBook/Multiple Formats Very highly recommended 5 stars David Thompson, son of a WWII vet, enlisted in the Air Force after he received a low draft lottery number that he supposed would lead to his being soon drafted during the Vietnam War. Because Thompson realized himself not willing to participate in combat he was soon court-martialed and given a year prison sentence to serve. The psychological damage he has given himself by the decision to take a conscientious objector stance is taking it's toll. While Thompson was able to evade either becoming wounded or damaging others from his determination for not going into combat, self blame is troubling him during the time the book is taking place. Thompson's experience has left him not knowing what he believe. He is questioning the dogma of his religious beliefs as well as that of the politics of the U S. Troubling to Thompson is the fact that he is thought to be a coward by his dad, himself and others. He makes his way to Paris during the period of the Carter presidency, the late 1970s, in an earnest attempt to comprehend the world he finds himself no longer able to understand. He hopes to write a book chronicling his discoveries as he travels the road to grasping the changes he is facing. Thompson is of the opinion that destiny or perhaps divine guidance is at work when he decides to accept an offer tendered by an Afghan and an Iranian to visit their countries. The dangerous journey he undertakes is enlightening, and, he hopes will take him to the answers he is seeking. David not only encountered unrest in the areas he visited, but found himself soon taking part in a battle in the land dominated by the Shah.

20. Looking For The Summer - Robert W. Norris Review of Looking for the Summer, robert W. norris autobiographical novel thekind of small press gem that is often overlooked but is well worth seeking http://www.culturevulture.net/Books2/LookingfortheSummer.htm

home dance destinations film ... archives Looking for the Summer Robert W. Norris Looking for the Summer Islandsurf.com worlds largest selection of sandals Looking for the Summer is a graceful autobiographical novel that breathes fresh life into a perennial genre: the spiritual bildungsroman The Dharma Bums Lacking the brash self-confidence of a radical firebrand, David is something of a holy fool slouching toward wisdom via the Keatsian mode of negative capability. He sees himself as “representative of a new, lost, paranoid generation.” As his travels immerse him further in Third World geopolitical tensions and complex ideological struggles, he begins to question his own motivations for the choices he’s made. When an underground cell of Iranian dissidents embraces David for his perceived anti-Americanism, he confesses to them: “I can honestly tell you that fear and cowardice played a much larger role than courage in taking my stand." For a narrative that revels in sometimes long-winded philosophical and political discussions, Looking for the Summer Looking for the Summer is the kind of small press gem that is often overlooked but is well worth seeking out.
