John Gardner (1933-1982) was one of the most provocative American novelists of his generation, garnering critical praise and a popular following for his fiction, including October Light, The Sunlight Dialogues, Grendel, and Mickelson's Ghost, as well as his criticism, the groundbreaking Moral Fiction, and his controversial The Art of Fiction, which has become a standard text in university writing classes around the country.
"An enormous circus trunk out of which the author keeps taking new
literary treasures... A compassionate portrait of America in the
uneasy '60s? Yes... Gardner explores everything with love and
forbearance." --Time
"The Sunlight Dialogues is large and beautifully written...
absorbing moment by moment and darkly troubling after it's over."
--The New York Times Book Review
