Cunningham, Michael : Specimen Days
Literary novel with SF and fantasy elements (by the author of The Hours), set in New York City in the early 20th century, early 21st century, and mid-22nd century, in three novellas sharing parallel themes and characters, informed by the spirit of poet Walt Whitman.
• The publisher's site has the book flap description, while the official author's site has excerpts from reviews. WYNC's website provides an excerpt.
• Amazon has the starred reviews from both Publishers Weekly (May 9th issue) and Booklist; the former concludes "With its narrative leaps and self-conscious flights into the transcendent, Cunningham's fourth novel sometimes seems ready to collapse under the weight of its lavishness and ambition -- but thrillingly, it never does. This is daring, memorable fiction."
