About This Book
From the Publisher
Praise for A Home at the End of the World:
"Lyrical...memorable and accomplished." --The New York Times Book Review
"Novels don't come more deeply felt than Michael Cunningham's extraordinary
four-character study... The writing...is a constant pleasure, flowing and yet
dense with incisive images and psychological nuance." --Matthew Gilbert, The
Boston Globe
"Cunningham writes with power and delicacy.... We come to feel that we know
Jonathan, Bobby, and Clare as if we lived with them; yet each one retains the
mystery that in people is called soul, and in fiction is called art." --Richard
Eder, The Los Angeles Times
"Once in a great while, there appears a novel so spellbinding in its beauty and
sensitivity that the reader devours it nearly whole, in great greedy gulps, and
feels stretched sore afterwards, having been expanded and filled. Such a book is
Michael Cunningham's A Home at the End of the World." --Sherry Rosenthal, San
Diego Tribune
From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours, comes
this widely praised novel of two boyhood friends: Jonathan, lonely,
introspective, and unsure of himself; and Bobby, hip, dark, and inarticulate. In
New York after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a
veteran of the city's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the
plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare's child. Then, when Clare and
Bobby have a baby, the three move to a small house upstate to raise "their"
child together and, with an odd friend, Alice, create a new kind of family. A
Home at the End of the World masterfully depicts the charged, fragile
relationships of urban life today.
