"Damascus Road" takes place as the ancient city of Jerusalem emerges into the new millennium, featuring a character believing himself to be the new messiah caught up in a terrorist plot and was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1998. In an interesting 1999 interview with Fred Newman and Dr. Leonra Fulain during his "Damascus Gate" book tour, Stone spoke of the architecture of Jerusalem: ".All these old stones that are thousands of years old…they don t belong to the past. Unlike the ruins in Athens and other places, they re not about the past they re about the present. Even about the future." Stone won the 1975 National Book Award for his 1960 s New Orleans novel "Dog Soldiers," and served as Chairman of the PEN/Faulkner Foundation Board of Directors in three decades of service. He was referred to as "America s most astonishing writer" by John Gardner (famed for his 1971 novel "Grendel" with Beowulf's beast as the protagonist). "Child of Light: A Biography of Robert Stone" by Madison Smartt Bell explores Stone s life and publications in detail.
