Description
David James Duncan is the author of the cult classic novels The River Why and The Brothers K, the story collection River Teeth, the nonfiction collection and National Book Award finalist My Story as Told by Water, and the best-selling God Laughs & Plays. The release of his much-anticipated novel Sun House, which legendary editor Michael Pietsch “will immodestly call David’s magnum opus,” arrived with much critical acclaim, including this comment from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Powers (The Overstory): “The time, energy, focus, precision, invention, scholarship, fun, joy, love, courage, and compassion that went into making this novel boggle my mind. Just contemplating its creation is a spiritual journey in itself. Finding this kind of expansive refreshment at this most narrowminded moment in history is a gift.”
