About
Peter plays the trumpet and works in a kitchen; Stasi tries to climb the corporate ladder and lands in therapy. These sensitive siblings struggle to find their place in the world, seeking intimacy and belonging, or trying to escape it.
A promising audition, a lost promotion, intriguing strangers and a silent lover-in rich, sensual scenes and moody brilliance, The Clarion explores rituals of connection and belonging, themes of intimacy and performance, and how far we wander to find, or lose, our sense of self.
Following the literary realist traditions of Mavis Gallant and Alice Munro, Dunic's debut novel captures the vague if hopeful melancholy of any generation that believes it was never "called" to something great.
