Peter Gould wrote the legendary back-to-the-land novel Burnt Toast (Alfred A. Knopf)—the first fictional treatment of the 1970s commune movement in New England. Peter’s young adult novel, Write Naked (Farrar Straus) won the 2009 Green Earth Book Award. Gould leads a life of writing, performing, gardening, teaching, political activism, and SHAKESPEARE!
“Peter Gould’s voice and personality shine through all his stories with wit and incisive insight. His perspective on life in Vermont’s 1970s counterculture is an invaluable one...incredibly helpful, personal and emotional.”
Here’s an embarrassment of riches!
Three books in print to choose from, two of them BRAND NEW!

Peter's three most recent books all have a page here on this site. Part for the Hole, Red Nose Girl, and Horse-Drawn Yogurt. "Three sides of the same coin," Peter says.
“Peter Gould—playwright, novelist, Shakespearean scholar, director, all around literary provocateur—is one of the most fearless writers alive. Gould is the dramaturge of our wordly problems and sense of wondrous possibility—he is a national treasure.”
