The setting for Times Of Plums is a college campus in 1971. Carlo Cappogia, 'Yago' to his friends, returns to finish his senior year after a one-year suspension for leading the takeover of the Administration building. He finds that things have changed, values shifted. It is the cusp of a different era, where idealism is being replaced by pragmatism. This is never more clear than in the build-up to the climatic anti-war march in San Francisco. This novel about the end of the sixties captures the speech and sense of urgency, that mix of depth and silliness, the quotidian hippity-hop which characterized that distinctive time in American history.
