Description
Night for Day by Patrick Flanery is a gripping novel set against the backdrop of Los Angeles in 1950. Over the course of one day, two friends grapple with the moral and professional uncertainties of the escalating Communist witch-hunt in Hollywood. As they struggle to complete their film, tensions between them come to a head, forcing them to confront complicity, jealousy, and fear. Against this feverish vision of national crisis, Flanery illuminates the eternal dilemma of both art and politics: how to make the world anew. This is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, one that conjures a vivid portrait of a pivotal moment in American history.
