Synopsis

An exploration of musical legacy, Overlook: A Rock and Roll Fable delves into the mysteries of intuitive talent and creation. It is a dance between art and appreciation, between star and fan. It is a chronicle of the last journey of a fictionalized incarnation of the great singer Richard Manuel, of The Band, as he travels back to his adopted home of Woodstock. There he encounters Klokko, a lone mountain man, who is himself searching for meaning beyond the music that he has always turned to. The novel moves through landscapes redolent of mid-1980s America, and deep into the effect of rock and roll on our collective soul. It’s about coming to terms with ourselves.

Paul Smart worked as a writer and editor for over a dozen Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains regional publications in a career that spanned a third of a century. He has published three books, including Rock & Woodstock and With Different Eyes: A Covid Waltz in Words and Images. He currently lives in Guanajuato, Mexico with his wife Fawn and son Milo, where he is working on a number of film and library projects.
