The Sunlight Dialogues

The Sunlight Dialogues

John Gardnerâ€™s sweeping portrait of the collision of opposing philosophical perspectives in 1960s America, centering on the appearance of a mysterious stranger in a small upstate New York town
Â
One summer day, a countercultural drifter known only as the Sunlight Man appears in Batavia, New York. Jailed for painting the word â€œLOVEâ€ across two lanes of traffic, the Sunlight Man encounters Fred Clumly, a sixty-four-year-old town sheriff. Throughout the course of this impressive narrative, the dialogue between these two men becomes a microcosm of the social unrest that epitomized America during this significant historical periodâ€”and culminates in an unforgettable ending.Â
Â
Beautifully expansive and imbued with exceptional social insight, The Sunlight Dialogues is John Gardnerâ€™s most ambitious work andestablished him as one of the most important fiction writers in postâ€“World War II America.Â Â
