Featured Book for Wednesday, June 8, 2005
FICTION
Specimen Days
by Michael Cunningham (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, ISBN 0374299625, $25)
From the author of "The Hours"
This book was the hottest "get" at the entire BookExpo America gathering in New York (with the possible exception of Kim Cattrall's autographed poster of herself in the nude) and created quite a stir. Cunningham, whose The Hours was made into a movie that used Virginia Woolf as a thematic binder, makes use of Walt Whitman to the same effect in this brand-new title.
Coming off a Pulitzer Prize, this weaves a spell and wanders from the turn of the century out into the future, and so far as literary novels go, this is destined to be the summer's most prestigious offering. Available now.
