Oh God, the Sun Goes

"A highly original and engagingly odd book." - Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World

"...wondrous...mysterious...Connor lands plenty of stimulating riffs on themes of memory, love, and loss, all in lyrical prose and suffused with surreal imagery." - Publishers Weekly

An "indescribable marvel" (Jonathan Lethem) of a debut novel from a brilliant new voice

The sun has disappeared from the sky. No one can explain where it has gone, but one wayward traveler is determined to try. As our unnamed narrator begins his odyssey across the parched landscapes of the American Southwest, he is drawn into a web of illusion and mystery, a shifting astral mindscape that shimmers with the aftermath of loss—and the promise of redemption.

Oh God, the Sun Goes is a hallucinatory and deadpan picaresque that suddenly swerves into a love story of soaring poignance. Truly “the stuff that dreams are made of” – or maybe nightmares?

Apocalyptic, mesmerizing, and utterly unique, Oh God, the Sun Goes introduces readers to a young and keenly inventive mind.

"Oh God, the Sun Goes is what might happen if Raymond Carver and Martin Heidegger were spliced together, given a double PhD in neurology and heartbreak, and decided to write a book that was at once highly symbolic and resonantly human. A highly original and engagingly odd book." - Brian Evenson

"An indescribable marvel ... A writer who will seemingly follow his intuitions anywhere, with blazing results." - Jonathan Lethem

"David Connor's exhilarating debut, Oh God, the Sun Goes, renders our natural world and interior lives with wit, earnestness, and tender observation; exploring love and loss with equal and opposite ache and awe. Connor's prose is effortlessly lyrical, slyly poignant, both daring and deceptively clean; announcing a gutsy new voice to cheer for and cherish." - Morgan Parker
