David James Duncan

David James Duncan is the author of the cult-classic novels The River Why and The Brothers K, the story collection River Teeth, the nonfiction collection and National Book Award finalist, My Story as Told by Water, and the best-selling God Laughs & Plays. The release of his much-anticipated novel Sun House arrived with much critical acclaim, including this comment from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Powers (The Overstory): “The time, energy, focus, precision, invention, scholarship, fun, joy, love, courage and compassion that went into making this novel boggle my mind. Just contemplating its creation is a spiritual journey in itself.” David lives on a charming little trout stream in Missoula, Montana, in accord with his late friend Jim Harrison’s advice to finish his life disguised as a creek.
