Collecting Sins is a captivating coming-of-age novel set in the vibrant Southern California of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Author Steven Sobel skillfully delves into the inner world of Ben, a sensitive and carefree young man navigating the transition into adulthood. Through his adventures, Ben explores the intricate maze of sewers beneath the San Fernando Valley, revels in the sun-kissed beaches of Santa Monica, and immerses himself in the bohemian culture of Topanga Canyon. Drawing inspiration from literary giants like J. D. Salinger, Carolyn See, and Jay McInerney, Sobel takes readers on a exhilarating journey through the heady atmosphere of the era, amplified by the influence of drugs, sex, rock 'n' roll, Vietnam, feminism, violence, and poetry. Collecting Sins transcends the narrative of a singular individual and becomes the story of a generation on the cusp of power.
