Fiction. "A deeply engrossing book, I couldn't put it down. And now that I've finished reading it, I can't put it away, for how it furthers my thinking of the genre itself. A PLACE IN THE SUN beautifully combines the high action and salaciousness of page-turners, with the self-reflection and risk-taking of postmodern fiction. It's a must-read and a must-study"--Renee Gladman. "A PLACE IN THE SUN is a beautifully rendered and expertly deconstructed novel. Warsh's stunningly effective use of multiple narratives, provided in exquisitely detailed lines, conveys an elastic and powerful emotional honesty. This is a sensual and desperate story from a writer with formidable powers of invention"--Donald Breckenridge.
