By Jack B. Rochester
Based upon true events, Anarchy is the fictional story of Tim
Rosencranz, an avowed anarchist and member of
Weatherman, a group of radical, left-wing dissidents bombing
public buildings across America. He blackmails Nathaniel
Hawthorne Flowers, his best friend from the service, into his
plot to blow up NYC’s Flatiron Building.
The setting for Anarchy and Jack B. Rochester’s preceding
Nathaniel Hawthorne Flowers novels is the turbulent
anti-Vietnam years of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Events like Weatherman blowing up the policeman statue at
Haymarket Square in Chicago in 1969, and the National Guard
killing four and wounding 11 on the Kent State University
campus in 1970 set the scene for Anarchy, the third volume of
Rochester’s Nathaniel Hawthorne Flowers trilogy.
It’s a tale of the deep love between Nate and his girlfriend
Jane Chandler, the fierce rivalry between Tim and Nate, and
the lengths to which agents of the FBI were willing to go to
catch a terrorist bomber.
Wild Blue Yonder (Book One)
A sheltered, bookish 20th-century Candide joins the Air Force in
1965, during Vietnam. He embarks upon a consciousness-raising
journey into military madness, San Francisco hippie
counterculture, romance, and Chinese philosophy as he tries to
make sense of America and learn how not to do everything twice.
Madrone (book two)
It’s 1969. After an interminable four years under the boot of the
military, twenty-four-year-old Nathaniel Hawthorne Flowers is
ready for the Real World. His plans are clear: spend as much time
as possible with Jane, finish college, and become a writer. But will
life live up to his expectations?
Praise for Jack
Wild Blue Yonder is a wonderful evocation of youth and time
gone by, and it held me from start to finish.
— X. J. Kennedy, author, anthologist and former poetry
editor of The Paris Review
Madrone is a wonderful, beautiful literary experience. Every scene
is masterfully written, made to be extremely relatable, especially
when it comes to the relationship between Jane and Nate, but
also the scenes that have a hint of magical realism.
— Casie Vogel, Senior Editor at a New York Publisher
