Who is the Sunlight Man?</B><BR><BR>In <I>The Sunlight Dialogues</I>, John Gardner's vision of America in the turbulent 1960s embraces an unconventional cast of conventional citizens in the small rural town of Batavia, New York. Sheriff Fred Clumly is trying desperately to unravel mysteries surrounding a disorderly, nameless drifter called "The Sunlight Man," who has been jailed for painting the word "LOVE" across two lanes of traffic, and who is later suspected of murder. The men battle over morality, freedom and their opposing notions of justice, leading each to find his own state of grace. Their conflict is mirrored in the community of middlebrow politicians and their church-going wives, Native Americans, working-class immigrants, farmers, soldiers, petty thieves, and even centenarian sisters too stubborn to die. Gardner's alchemy is existential: from the most raw, vulnerable, and conflicting characters in the American melting pot, he transmutes common denominators of human isolation and longing. With unnerving suspense, his acute ear for American speech, and permeated by his deep-rooted belief in morality, this expansive, sprawling, and ambitious novel is John Gardner's masterpiece: "A superb literary achievement," noted <I>The Boston Globe</I>. 1216460 30 11 1972 The Sunlight Dialogues total:135|5:47|4:52|3:28|2:4|1:4| 135 539 247 15 52609 0811216705 9780811216708 127 13 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196700239m/52609.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52609.The_Sunlight_Dialogues 5 1 false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 20 21:11:18 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 20 21:17:45 -0700 2007 more...]]> 52609 0811216705 9780811216708 127 13 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196700239m/52609.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52609.The_Sunlight_Dialogues 3 0 false Sun Aug 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 21:20:01 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 21:37:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 52609 0811216705 9780811216708 127 13 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196700239m/52609.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52609.The_Sunlight_Dialogues 2 1 false Wed Jan 28 11:38:17 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 11:44:14 -0800 2009 more...]]> 52609 0811216705 9780811216708 127 13 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196700239m/52609.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52609.The_Sunlight_Dialogues 5 0 false Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 1988 Mon Jul 23 19:19:59 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 29 07:44:37 -0800 2007 A strange visitor called The Sunlight Man with a mysterious past and some serious behavioral issues drops into a suburban community in upstate New York and begins to wreak havoc.
