Amaranthine Chevrolet

A teenage boy’s curious road trip across a radically changing country.

In the year 1967, fifteen-year-old Robin drives an antique pickup truck west from Saskatchewan, travelling on farmland and on unmapped roads to avoid police. Like Odysseus striving toward home, he encounters trying situations: men on the run, hippies creating utopia, marijuana farmers, mechanical breakdowns, a raging forest fire. Robin passes through a massively changing society — a rural culture that, though eroding, hangs on to values of kindness and endurance, and one in which Robin must be both heroic and vulnerable.
