Specimen Days

In this bold novel, Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize–winningauthor of The Hours and A Home at the End of the World, spinsthree brilliant linked narratives, each set in the ever-mysterious, everchangingand ever-turbulent city of New York. From a ghost story that takes place at theheight of the Industrial Revolution, to a noir thriller of terrorism inthe early 21st century, to a tale of a future New York overwhelmed by alienrefugees, Specimen Days is a genrebending, haunting novel ofmetamorphosis.

Acclaimed by critics and readers, this is a literary work ofaudacious power and beauty by one of the most original and daring authorswriting today.
