Table of ContentsReviews"An irreverent, offbeat and thoroughly likable tale.-- ""Los Angeles Times"" Duncan's prose is a blend of lyrical rhapsody, sassy hyperbole and all-American vernacular.-- ""San Francisco Chronicle"" One of the greatest imaginative achievements I've encountered in a lifetime of reading--brimming with invention, mirth, and wisdom. It transports us into a world more radiant and vivid than this one, or rather one just as radiant and vivid, if only we attended to it with the heightened awareness it urges us to cultivate.-- ""WILLIAM DEBUYS, author of The Trail to Kanjiroba: Rediscovering Earth in an Age of Loss"" This is a classic epic novel with 21st century humor and timeless spirituality. I laughed so much and cried just as often. It's sexy, politically astute, visionary, and bold. I love this novel. I love David. Read it now.-- ""SHERMAN ALEXIE, author of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian"" ""The Brothers K succeeds on almost every level and every page.-- ""USA Today"" Sun House is a book of healing that will earn a place on the shelf between the world's ancient wisdom texts and Mark Twain...Here is a book like nothing I have ever read, an epic story about how we may be made whole in a broken time.-- ""KATHLEEN DEAN MOORE, author of Earth's Wild Music"" Like all truly extraordinary novels, the luminous Sun House is not a mere book, but a singular world in which the reader comes to reside, and to feel more alive. Told in rollicking prose laced with ab-tightening humor and high-lonesome lyricism, this immersive, sweeping tale locates the grand in the smallest particulars, and reaches its heights only after traversing the wild and sometimes steep country of the heart. To open the door to Duncan's long-awaited masterwork is to be flooded with light and loss, and to find, ultimately, hard-won hope.-- ""CHRIS DOMBROWSKI, author of The River You Touch"" Reading Sun House is like watching dawn in the high country. A clear, eastern light gains strength as the story unfolds, revealing a landscape as vast and gorgeous as any mountain range at daybreak. On this bright stage, David James Duncan's unlikely, perfectly-wrought, beloved characters perform a miracle: From ragged strands of tragedy and epiphany, they weave the fabric of a more openhearted world.-- ""BRYCE ANDREWS, author of Holding Fire: A Reckoning with the American West""" Author InformationDavid James Duncan is a father, a renowned fly fisher, an activist, and the author of the novels The River Why and The Brothers K, the story collection River Teeth, and the nonfiction collections My Story as Told by Water--a National Book Award finalist--and God Laughs & Plays. His work has won three Pacific Northwest Booksellers Awards, two Pushcart Prizes, a Lannan Fellowship, the Western States Book Award, a National Book Award nomination, inclusion in BestAmerican Essays, Best American Sports Writing, Best American Catholic Writing, five volumes of Best AmericanSpiritual Writing, an honorary doctorate from University of Portland, the American Library Association's 2004 Award for the Preservation of Intellectual Freedom (with co-author Wendell Berry), and other honors.
