Sunnyside (Vintage)

Glen David Gold returns to Skylight to read from and sign his novel Sunnyside, now out in paperback!

"A breathless stupendous novel that recreates both a young brash America on the verge of becoming itself, and Chaplin, one of its most bewitching quixotic citizens. From lighthouse to Hollywood to starlets to war to stardom to madness to genius Gold's startling narrative carries us across the world and back. Gold proves himself yet again to be the hungriest craftiest funniest and most humane novelist we have."
-Junot Diaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
