SYNOPSIS
By "one of the most impressive novelists of his generation" (The New York Review of Books), Children of Light is a searing, indelible love story of two ravaged spirits, played out under the merciless, magnifying prism of Hollywood.
Gordon Walker, screenwriter and actor, has systematically ruined his family and his health with cocaine and alcohol. Lee Verger is an actress of uncommon and unfulfilled promise, whom Gordon has known since the days when they were both young and fearless, and whose New Orleans childhood has left her with a tenuous hold on sanity. During the shooting of a film on the Pacific coast of Mexico, they resume a ritual struggle in which their desperate love for each other will either save or destroy them.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert Stone
Robert Stone (21 de agosto de 1937 - 10 de janeiro de 2015) foi um romancista americano.
Foi duas vezes finalista do Prémio Pulitzer e uma vez do Prémio PEN/Faulkner. Stone foi cinco vezes finalista do National Book Award for Fiction, que recebeu em 1975 pelo seu romance Dog Soldiers. A revista Time incluiu esse romance na sua lista TIME 100 Melhores Romances em inglês de 1923 a 2005. Dog Soldiers foi adaptado para o filme Who'll Stop the Rain (1978), protagonizado por Nick Nolte, a partir de um argumento que Stone coescreveu.
Durante a sua vida, Stone recebeu apoio material e reconhecimento, incluindo Guggenheim e National Endowment for the Humanities, os cinco anos Mildred e Harold Strauss Living Award, o John Dos Passos de Literatura e o American Academy e Institute of Arts and Letters Award. Stone também ofereceu o seu próprio apoio e reconhecimento a escritores durante sua vida, atuando como Presidente do Conselho de Administração da Fundação PEN/Faulkner por mais de trinta anos.
O trabalho mais conhecido de Stone é caracterizado por aventuras de ação, preocupações políticas e humor sombrio. Muitos dos seus romances passam-se em paisagens incomuns e exóticas de turbulência social, como a Guerra do Vietname; uma violenta república das bananas pós-golpe na América Central; Jim Crow era Nova Orleães e Jerusalém à beira do milénio.
