Belonging to the first generation of collegiate students never to have experienced a
time without the possibility of nuclear
holocaust, CJ, Jack, and Leah, in their sometimes assured and other times hesitant
movements toward each other,
are struggling in the direction of a future they have always known they may not have.
Then a crisis is inadvertently
brought to all three lives by a psychiatrist involved in a lonely pursuit of definitions
of global sanity. It is a
crisis the psychiatrist himself comes to share and which soon begins to give voice to
what have been
silences central to our time. Respectfully nonviolent, How Did That Sun Get Out builds
into an insightful
and feelingly true exploration of quandaries basic to our era and ultimately touching
all our lives, if only indirectly. — from the jacket
Deeply moving. Well worth reading, even in the 2000s because humankind is still
endangered and still seeking escape —
Peace Research
It's a fascinating book. The writing is vivid, with a strong sense of time and place.
Ultimately it's very moving. — Larry
Lockridge, author of Shade of the Raintree
Remarkable personal testimony suggesting that peaceful patterns of life are here to take,
if we but choose to see them. —
News, International Peace Bureau
The pacifism in the book is backed up with reality. Should be in every library. —
Meria Heller Show
The author is a writer, artist, and pacifist who incorporates long held non-violent
beliefs into his work.
Science, art, and the humanities are woven skillfully into this fictional story of
learning, maturing, and
friendship. His well-developed characters represent the first generation who realized
destruction of all
life on Earth has become possible through nuclear means. — Midwest Book Review
