NOBLE CHAOS
NOBLE CHAOS is a great read, not just for those of us who lived through the Sixties, but for anyone who enjoys wonderful storytelling. Brent Green shows you things you might miss, even standing next to him. I hope the book does well!

FOR ME, Noble Chaos is first and foremost an exquisitely written novel about coming of age and first love. It’s a breath-taking and heart-breaking (in a good way) journey back to being nineteen again and re-experiencing how wise and foolish we all are during those years. It’s also a superbly written historical fiction novel about what life was like on many college campuses during the turbulent anti-Vietnam war years of 1969-1970. In 258 pages, you can relive a defining era in your own life, and a defining moment in our country’s life. It’s a read you won’t want to put down.

YOU'LL BE instantly transposed to 1969. Noble Chaos is an extraordinary journey that chronicles the life of ‘every kid,’ Ryan Sterling. He represents the passion, the confusion, and the conflicts so many of us experienced at that time. Noble Chaos is an intimate portrayal, beautifully executed. Brent Green cleverly takes us through the touchstones of those amazing and turbulent times: politics, drugs, human rights, family, sex, and academics. The quest of his central character is simple—how to make sense of the world. And although the clothes and political slogans are different today, many of the conflicts in the late sixties and early seventies remain the same. How do we deal with authority? What are the limits to our freedoms? And, yes, what are our responsibilities? Noble Chaos is a gift.

I THINK the name nails it: Noble Chaos. Those were the Sixties, the Seventies, the age when an emerging generation—my Boomer generation—bumped into not just the chaos of a divided society, but the chaos of divided friendships, even of our own divided minds. Brent Green’s book reminded me of passions that are oddly missing today despite similar national conflicts of war and social revolution.
