In Sunlight or In
Shadow:
Stories Inspired by the Paintings of Edward Hopper
Edited by Lawrence Block.
Published 2016.
ISBN: 9781681772455
Description:
A truly unprecedented
literary achievement by author and editor Lawrence Block – a newly commissioned
anthology of seventeen superbly crafted stories inspired by the paintings of
Edward Hopper.
"Edward Hopper is
surely the greatest American narrative painter. His work bears special
resonance for writers and readers, and yet his paintings never tell a story so
much as they invite viewers to find for themselves the untold stories within."
So says Lawrence Block,
who has invited seventeen outstanding writers to join him in an unprecedented
anthology of brand-new stories: In Sunlight or In Shadow. The results
are remarkable and range across all genres, wedding literary excellence to
storytelling savvy.
Contributors include
Stephen King, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Olen Butler, Michael Connelly, Megan
Abbott, Craig Ferguson, Nicholas Christopher, Jill D. Block, Joe R. Lansdale,
Justin Scott, Kris Nelscott, Warren Moore, Jonathan Santlofer, Jeffery Deaver,
Lee Child, and Lawrence Block himself. Even Gail Levin, Hopper’s biographer and
compiler of his catalogue raisonée, appears with her own first work of fiction,
providing a true account of art theft on a grand scale and told in the voice of
the country preacher who perpetrated the crime.
In
a beautifully produced anthology as befits such a collection of acclaimed
authors, each story is illustrated with a quality full-color reproduction of
the painting that inspired it.
Toni Morrison, on writing:
that are disparate, unresolved, mysterious,
problematic or just sweet.
– Toni Morrison.
