Roland in Moonlight is a 2021 autobiographical fairy tale by philosopher and religious studies scholar David Bentley Hart. Following a narrative framework taken from an eventful period of over a decade in the author's real life, the book consists primarily of dialogues with his dog Roland as well as accounts of his fictional great uncle Aloysius Bentley (1895-1987). These conversations with Roland at night (often on the border between waking and sleeping) follow in several traditions of philosophical and religious works written in the form of dialogues. The book also features many original poems attributed to the author as well as to both of the fictional characters.
