The Steam Tunnels

By Steven Hager

Two sides of a Generation War assembled their forces for battle, in the homes, the schools, and eventually the streets of America. Blake Moore is a young man on fire: in love with books and ideas, and he has the great electric current of the 1960’s running through him at full voltage. His mentor is Wesly Pinter, a rebellious semi-delinquent who functions as Huckleberry Finn to Blake’s Tom Sawyer. Pinter introduces Blake to a mysterious secret: the existence of steam tunnels that run underground beneath the entire town. The tunnels are a labyrinth—a great seething subconscious—affording a clandestine access to key places and buildings throughout the town— just as the forces of the underground break through the thin crust of a complacent America.

Foreward by Brian Spaeth

This is a painful entry in the journals of youth—a direct, autobiographical transcription of a familial and generational war, recorded in the penultimate year of 1967, when the forces on both sides of the generation gap assembled for a great face-off. It is perhaps difficult for anyone who did not live through that period to understand just how high the emotions were running on both sides (Get a God-damn haircut!) America was a land of a thousand contradictions (and dances!) whose myths were being put to the test.
