Klappentext

"After undergoing a traumatic experience with his college girlfriend, college student Aaron must reckon with what it means to run away from everything-and what's worth returning to-during the political unease of the '70s. Aaron is a college student seeking adventure in the hallucinatory, political haze of 1970s America. Haunted by horrifying memories of a hitchhiking experience, abandoned by his equally traumatized girlfriend, Aaron tries to flee from everything both physical and psychological. When he tries to find meaning on a solo hitchhiking trip, he must reckon with the real question of his journey: can he truly begin a new life in a new community, simple and free, or must he reckon with the person he once was, and the harm he was caused? Come Round Right is a paean to a pivotal moment in American history, when the Vietnam War was raging, and the idealism of the 1960s was losing ground to frustration, anger, and violence.
