- Title
David James Duncan's Contemporary Western.
- Authors
Jacobs, Ron
- Abstract
David James Duncan's novel, Sun House, is a recent addition to a genre of novels that reject the corporatization of the American West. The book tells the story of a group of individuals in Portland, Oregon, who are searching for a more just and spiritual existence in a world facing ecological and economic disaster. The novel blends a complex plotline with philosophical musings and political critiques, and features a diverse cast of characters. While some readers may find the spiritual and philosophical aspects tedious, others may consider them the best part of the book. Overall, Sun House is a charming and fantastical story that blends mysticism, love, and anti-corporate mischief.
