The Sunset Grill Chronicles: Some Food for Thought About Love and Relationships

By Philip Golabuk

Golabuk introduces readers to The Sunset Grill Society, baby boomers who face crises in their lives and help each other struggle with and overcome the heartbreaks of addiction, sexual abuse, divorce, poverty, and dysfunctional family histories. Reminiscent of The Big Chill, it is--for those with the courage to look--a confrontation with reality.

comments from the author

I wrote this book in 1994. Since then, it has been published in translation overseas, and seems to continue to instill a certain satisfaction in people who are interested in how friendship can provide a venue for spiritual and emotional wholeness that rivals what we often seek when we go running to psychotherapists, workshops, self-help tapes and books, and the like in the attempt to get the skeleton bones in our closets to stop rattling. When SUNSET GRILL came out, the publisher likened it to the film THE BIG CHILL to the extent that both focus on the curative and redeeming powers of friendship, and enact how naturally and powerfully these powers can be invoked. I did my best to imbue the narrative with a literary quality, bracketing chapters with excerpts from the lives of the book's five protagonists, the members of our little "society." Since the writing of SUNSET GRILL, I've taken to writing novels, but this seems more an evolutionary advance on the literary voice of SUNSET GRILL and other nonfiction books I've written than a new direction.
