(1998), about a man with messianic delusions caught up in a terrorist plot in Jerusalem. The novel was a finalist for the National Book Award for 1998. It was followed in 2003 by Bay of Souls. The final novel that Stone published in his lifetime was Death of the Black-Haired Girl which appeared in 2013. Nonfiction Prime Green: Remembering the Sixties (2007) is Stone's memoir discussing his experiences in the 1960s counterculture. "Pleasant goofing" was the way Stone described those days in a Washington Post interview from 1981. This autobiographical work begins with his days in the Navy and ends with his days as a correspondent in Vietnam. Besides Ken Kesey, this work features Stone's insights on Neal Cassady, Allen Ginsberg, and Jack Kerouac from his time spent traveling with them. Prime Green also gives us Stone's perspective on drugs and their effects. Following his death in 2015, a critic noted, in a snapshot retrospective view of Stone's career, that "even his experiments with drugs in the early sixties led Stone to understand that his view on life is going to remain religious no matter what." And Stone himself confirmed this view, when he told the Washington Post in 1981: Works Novels 1967: A Hall of Mirrors 1974: Dog Soldiers (novel) — winner of National Book Award 1981: A Flag for Sunrise — finalist for Pulitizer prize; PEN/Faulkner Award finalist; twice a finalist for the National Book Award 1986: Children of Light 1992: Outerbridge Reach — finalist for the National Book Award 1998: Damascus Gate — finalist for the National Book Award 2003: Bay of Souls 2013: Death of the Black-Haired Girl Short Story Collections 1997: Bear and His Daughter — finalist for Pulitzer prize 2010: Fun with Problems Memoir 2007: Prime Green: Remembering the Sixties Screenplays 1970: WUSA (screenplay, based on A Hall of Mirrors) 1978: Who'll Stop the Rain (screenplay, based on Dog Soldiers; co-author) Nonfiction 2020: The Eye You See With: Selected Nonfiction (posthumously published; edited by Madison Smartt Bell) References Further reading Madison Smartt Bell: Child of Light: A Biography of Robert Stone, New York: Doubleday, 2020, Robert Solotaroff: Robert Stone, New York : Twayne [u.a.], 1994, External links Robert Stone Papers at the New York Public Library "Robert Stone, Classic interview with the author of Damascus Gate", Identity Theory, April 20, 2009 Interview with Robert Stone after publication of his memoir Prime Green, LA Weekly,
