Latest PublicationNo Fortunes, A Novel by Peter Anastas(No Fortunes is currently out of print. Toad Hall Bookstore, 47
Main Street in Rockport, MA (978-546-7323) still has some inscribed copies in
stock, along with Set at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine during the winter and spring of 1959, No Fortunes tells the story of four friends on the threshold of adulthood. Though it resembles a memoir in shape and content, No Fortunes is both a novel of sentimental education and the story of a young couple driven to love each other while compelled to grow apart. Narrated by its protagonist Jason Makrides, son of a Greek immigrant, the novel is also the record of an aspiring writer's struggle to achieve artistic and political integrity. Looking back to the Cold War era and the Beat rebellion, it documents the emergence of some of the seismic social and cultural shifts that would define the late 20th and early 21st centuries. more Published by Back Shore Press "Anastas does a masterful job... His depiction of Brunswick's 1959 college life is vivid, colorful, funny, and bittersweet." —Bill Bushnell
