At the time of this writing Richard Monkman has witnessed 30,671 sunsets. He takes this literal fact, with its accompanying experiences, into the realm of the spirit and proceeds from there into a description of 20th century social history. His own personal history gives the framework for the story. That history begins in poverty, then moves upward with the nations economy into the Middle Class. The fortuitous career choice of clerical ordination as well as wide international travel and keen personal powers of observation make the author an able interpreter of his time and place.
