Sun House – A Conversation with David James Duncan

What does it mean to search for transcendence in a world going
completely out of balance? From our archive, this interview with
acclaimed author David James Duncan explores his epic novel Sun
House, which follows an eclectic collection of characters as they
each seek Truth and meaning, together forming an unintentional
community in rural Montana. Talking about the ways a heart can be
transformed by deep experiences of mystical transcendence, David
shares the impetus behind the novel: to impart an experiential
model of contemplative inner life that could help us navigate our
ecological unraveling. He also speaks about the mystics, from Zen
master Dōgen to the thirteenth-century Christian mystic Meister
Eckhart, and what futures might become possible if we open our
consciousness to love and the Divine.  Read the transcript.
