"Sunrise" is a tale of illusion, loss and renewal in a tragic age.
Set in Manhattan, and in the fashionable beach towns of Long
Island's East End, it follows the interwoven lives of three friends
from the late 1960s to the present-exploring the confluence of art,
commerce, politics and celebrity.
With its perfectly rendered physical setting, "Sunrise" draws
readers into the reality of place and the universality of myth in a
daring, Modernist style.
Stephen Dahl, the narrator of "Sunrise," is a troubled child of
the 60s, an expatriate American author living in Paris, an
alcoholic who has stopped drinking but failed to recover his
spiritual equilibrium. Watching the horrors of September 11th from
his Paris apartment, he is struck by renewed patriotism which
vanishes quickly as America plans to invade Iraq. But he is called
home in the Spring of 2003 by the death of his former best friend
and by the chance to see his former lover, the widow of his old
friend. Thus begins Stephen's journey to a past that reveals
complex layers of moral and spiritual responsibility to his
country, his countrymen and himself. Stephen confronts an uncertain
future by accepting the moral limits of despair and the power of
compassion.
