Divine Right's Trip is a 1972 novel by Gurney Norman set in the 1960s which chronicles the awakening of the hippie stoner Divine Right (Davenport) as he travels with his patient and introspective VW Bus, Urge. It was originally printed in installments as an adjunct in The Last Whole Earth Catalogue. Initially he travels with his 'lady' Estelle and they meet up with characters such as 'The Lone Outdoorsman' (a curiously warm hearted right-wing reactionary character) and 'The Greek'. Eventually Divine Right finds himself travelling alone back to his Appalachian roots. Norman also wrote the short story collection Kinfolks: The Wilgus Stories (1977). Both the novel and the short stories share an Appalachian background.
