Hira Ratan Manek (aka HRM) has not eaten solid food for 411 days. Impossible, you say? But HRM takes nourishment through an alternate source: by staring directly at the sun for 44 minutes every day. Isn't that damaging to the eyes? After two days with HRM, Mason Dwinell is ready to dismiss such minor concerns to explore "the possibility of a new truth" through sungazing. On a spiritual journey to achieve the 44-minute goal (you work up to it gradually), Mason also embarks on a physical voyage around the country (perhaps unsurprisingly, in a VW van) to meet other sungazers and better understand this solar-powered lifestyle. But confusion, identity crises and eye exams interfere with Mason's progress, and many troubling questions arise. Throughout its subtle quirkiness and parched humor, Eat the Sun maintains a steady compassion for Mason's luminous quest, and gives new meaning to "light" food. —Joanne Parsont
