Just in case you missed the 60 Minutes<\/em> special or the White House press conference: I wrote a novel, Brothers of the Milky Way<\/em>, about (among other things) the friendship between a car-crazed East Bay supermarket cashier and an environmentalist drifter.\u00a0 Blue Tower Press<\/a> is where you’ll find the ebook; the price is right, as you’ll see.\u00a0 Online retailers should soon stock a print edition, but I’m afraid real coin-of-the-realm will have to be asked for it.\u00a0 Printing and paper aren’t free.<\/p>\n

I think the book’s afterword does a pretty thorough job of explaining the novel’s reason for being, but a complete reading of the afterword will spoil the plot, so I’ll say a little more here.<\/p>\n

Years before I donned my first plastic pocket protector and held forth at a chalkboard, I was two things that I never mentioned at transitpeople.org: a failed novelist (to be frank and uncharitable about it), and an amateur auto mechanic.\u00a0 These careers were related.\u00a0 I lived in the ‘burbs, felt I needed a car to get around, but lacked the Stephen King-sized bank account to buy a snazzy new one.\u00a0 All I could afford were neurotic old beaters.\u00a0 These had lost whatever will to live a machine can possess, and had a knack for breaking down at the worst possible times, like family black sheep who throw wingdings at weddings and reunions.\u00a0 I resolved to learn to fix these depressed cars, make them whole again.<\/p>\n

This I did.\u00a0 Kind of.\u00a0 Amateur auto repair is a lot like fluency in a second language; you may quickly learn to ask for a menu in espa\u00f1ol, but remain ill equipped for a philosophy debate at the Instituto Tecnologico<\/em>.\u00a0 I don’t recommend the hobby to others, but, just the same:\u00a0 I took auto shop at the local junior college, and joined a vocational program that gave me access to a floor lift, air tools and other professional equipment.\u00a0 Most of my mechanicking was done on an antediluvian Volkswagen microbus, which I christened Moo, for her Usain Bolt-like fleet footedness on the freeway.\u00a0 I became fond of Moo for her own sake, like one learning to love a spouse in an arranged marriage, and joined The Society of Transporter Owners, to celebrate Moo and other silly old Wolfsburg crates like her.\u00a0 I prowled junk yards for gear.\u00a0 I longed for more pep and get-up-and-go from Moo, and studied speed equipment catalogs that promised to invigorate her.<\/p>\n

\"On<\/a>
On the road to Olema in the early 1980s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In short: I immersed myself in car culture, or at least the old Volkswagen side of car culture.\u00a0 In shop I met fellow twenty somethings who very nearly lived and died for their cars, whose lives revolved around their Chevelles and ‘Stangs and Rancheros with the perfect fidelity of a planetary body orbiting a star.\u00a0 I may never have met my protagonist Hank, but certainly met his buddies.<\/p>\n

A late eighties friendship with an environmental writer taught me to think of my hobby differently.\u00a0 I was persuaded by her arguments, won over, but also privately amused by the yawning chasm between green sensibilities and the culture of car nuts.\u00a0 I thought this chasm merited a story, and made one out of it: The Image of Red Cloud<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em> finished in 1991.\u00a0 Publishers greeted Image<\/em> with the zeal they had shown for my other works.\u00a0 I didn’t sell it.<\/p>\n

Twenty years passed.\u00a0 I moved to Los Angeles, became a teacher, started TransitPeople, retired, returned to the Bay Area.\u00a0 I didn’t feel much affection for most of the output of my literary years, but Hank and his saga were an exception.\u00a0 I could sometimes imagine my old protagonist snickering behind me as I squirmed for breathing space on jammed-to-the-gills Wilshire buses, particularly if one of my fellow straphangers had avoided the shower for a few weeks.\u00a0 I decided that the story deserved to be rewritten.<\/p>\n

There is more to it than that, but I think I’ve said enough for now.\u00a0 Please see the afterword for the rest.<\/p>\n

I thoroughly enjoyed the two years just spent on the rewrite.\u00a0 I’m not young anymore, but was in 1974, when Brothers<\/em> begins, and was as happy as any other old geezer would be to take a nostalgic cruise back in the time machine.\u00a0 I warn in the afterword against taking one’s fictional escapes too seriously, but enjoy my own escapes now and then, too.\u00a0 I felt a little depressed to upload the final .pdf.\u00a0 I wouldn’t be able to visit with Hank, Evelyn and Logos any more.<\/p>\n

I don’t think of it as an especially profound story.\u00a0 Remember, please: I came up with the nuts and bolts of the tale over twenty years ago.\u00a0 I have changed a bit since then.\u00a0 All I hope is that some of you like it, that you can kick back with your Kindles and Nooks and iPads and enjoy Hank and Evelyn and Logos a fraction as much as I did.\u00a0 If you dislike them or am bored by them, well, I will have failed.<\/p>\n

I am grateful for the auto aficionados who helped with research, and thanked them in the afterword.\u00a0 Naming them here would give away too much of the plot; at least one is well known.\u00a0 My story includes some breathless chatter about cars, from the protagonist’s perspective, but I have persuaded myself that it won’t encourage anyone to hanker after an old muscle car.\u00a0 I do worry that the chatter will annoy some enthusiasts, who might regard it as skeptically as a Sugar daddy taking in the the goo-goo eyes and seductively parted lips of a courtesan known to be an avowed lesbian.\u00a0 She might dissemble convincingly, but is dissembling nonetheless, just as I dissemble when I stand in Hank’s shoes and go on breathlessly about cars.<\/p>\n

If that’s the case, I apologize.\u00a0 If it’s any consolation: I can still feel a genuine, unfaked pang at the sight of the nice old split window microbuses advertised at thesamba.com.\u00a0 Yes, my bus polluted more than a fleet of Priuses, relied on four wheel drum brakes and offered no protection in a front end crash, but I’d still like to take her out for a spin again.\u00a0 There’s no fool like an old one.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy the story.\u00a0 That’s about all.\u00a0 I did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
