Description
Night for Day by Patrick Flanery explores the complexities of art and politics during one of America's most tumultuous periods. In 1950s Los Angeles, 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 personal and professional lives come to a head. The novel delves into the subtleties of belonging and the enormity of exile, both from one's country and from oneself. With its expansive scope and tender intimacy, Night for Day sheds light on the enduring divisions that continue to shape the nation. This is a thought-provoking novel that echoes the works of Philip Roth and Raymond Chandler, while also nodding to the mythic landscapes of Dante and the playfulness of James Joyce.
