A Child's Night Dream ~ Ships in 2-3 days

Oliver Stone / Hardcover / Published 1997
Anyone who is a fan of Oliver Stone's films already knows the role Vietnam has played in both his personal and public lives. He's made three films about the war and its aftermath: Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, and Heaven and Earth; now he has also penned a novel that skirts the borders of autobiography--the hero, after all, is called Oliver. The novel grew out of three major experiences in young Oliver's life: his time as a civilian teacher in a Saigon Catholic school, his return to America aboard a merchant marine ship, and his eventual return to Vietnam as a soldier.

Stone originally wrote this novel in 1966 at the age of 19. In a fit of frustration and despair after numerous rejections from publishers, Stone "threw several sections of the manuscript into the East River one cold night, and, as if surgically removing the memory of the book from my mind, volunteered for the Vietnam of 1967." For many years, the remaining sections of the manuscript lay forgotten in a shoebox, until eventually Stone recovered them, rewrote the novel, and published it this year.

Oliver Stone's America : 'Dreaming the Myth Outward' (Film Studies)

Susan MacKey-Kallis / Published 1996
Oliver Stone, polemicist, leftist, artist, and - surprisingly for politically conservative America - mainstream director, is one of the most controversial American filmmakers in Hollywood. His films include JFK, Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Heaven and Earth, The Doors, Salvador, Talk Radio, Natural Born Killers, and Nixon - all political, passionate, and disturbing. This book embraces Stone's work, analyzes his films, and places him inside the tradition of American political filmmaking. Mackey-Kallis argues that Stone's films are mythological constructions based on historical events and personae which draw upon "the inevitable tension between social actuality and film form." Not simply an aesthetic contemplation, this book analyzes Oliver Stone's films as artistically structured instruments for public communication. Ample illustrations illuminate her discussions.
