Oregon by Don Winslow

Dealing in Rhode Island
Review of the Audible Original audiobook narrated by [a:Ed Harris|429396|Ed Harris|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] (May 23, 2024).
In the late stages of the Vietnam War and a possible draft, five Rhode Island teenagers scheme to realize their dreams of moving to a promised land in Oregon. Starting a small time pot dealing operation seems the way to go. But some of them become distracted on the way and others fall into temptation.
Unlike most Don Winslow novels and short stories there is not actually very much crime involved in this story, unless you consider selling marijuana a crime. There is a surprise crime at the very end.

Audible Originals are exclusive audio productions for Audible. The exclusivity may be time-limited. An author may agree to a (e.g.) six-month audio exclusive before they are free to publish the story in eBook or paper formats. To date none of the Don Winslow / Ed Harris short stories have appeared in print, but possibly there will be a future anthology collection. Because there is no print equivalent, the stories have a zero page count and do not add to your Goodreads page count for the year if you read (listen to) them.
