Sun House.
David James Duncan · Fiction · 2023
A tragic event sets off a chain of transformative experiences: a DC-8 bolt falls, shattering a young Jesuit's faith; a boy's annual duels express repressed anger; and a woman's encounter with a shooting star sparks a love that heals. These disparate journeys converge in the healing landscapes of Montana, where a diverse community, fueled by Maker's Mark and glacier ice, discovers unexpected joy in each other's company. In "Sun House," David James Duncan crafts a poignant exploration of the American quest for meaning and love, using the stunning backdrop of the American West to illuminate contemporary existence through the prisms of Eastern wisdom and the expansive yearnings of the human heart.
