Come Round Right

Come Round Rightaf Alan Govenar
Bag om Come Round Right

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. Both a haunting novel and a personal reckoning with his own past experiences, Govenar's is a deeply personal story about the struggle to survive against all odds, never losing hope.
