The Sunset Limited
I suspect that many people will be deterred from reading this book because it is a play, and they will think, reasonably enough, that it is something to be seen on a stage, and not read; but it reads beautifully. It has two characters, Black and White, and Black saves White from throwing himself in front of a train, the Sunset Limited. And then in Black's almost bare apartment they dissect each other's lives, and discuss God, faith and death - with wit, intelligence and passion. The book has something of the claustrophobia of Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground, and something of the philosophic and religious weight of The Brothers Karamazov - it is however some 850 pages shorter, and can be read in a day.

An interesting conversation
A meeting between black and white very interesting. An exchange of divers point of view.
