In each section of Michael Cunningham's new book, we encounter the same group of characters: a young boy, an older man, and a young woman. "In the Machine" is a ghost story which takes place at the height of the Industrial Revolution, as human beings confront the alienated realities of the new machine age. "The Children's Crusade," set in the early twenty-first century, plays with the conventions of the noir thriller as it tracks the pursuit of a terrorist band which is detonating bombs seemingly at random around the city.

Meet Peter and Rebecca Harris: mid-40s denizens of Manhattan’s SoHo, nearing the apogee of committed careers in the arts—he a dealer, she an editor. With a spacious loft, a college-age daughter in Boston and lively friends, they are admirable, enviable contemporary urbanites with every reason, it seems, to be happy. Then Rebecca’s much younger lookalike brother, Ethan (known in the family as Mizzy, “the mistake”), shows up for a visit.

Specimen Days is the bold latest novel from Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours. The novel contains three linked narratives that take place in the past, the present, and the future of New York City and span the ghost story, thriller, and science fiction genres. This wild, lush, dark page-turner is an exciting creative leap for a major writer.

Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed, reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Hours. Rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, this perverse, or this true. The beast stands ahead of you in line at the convenience store, buying smokes and a Slim Jim, his devouring smile aimed at the cashier. A malformed little man with a knack for minor acts of wizardry goes to disastrous lengths to procure a child.

Jonathan, un ragazzo introverso e insicuro, e Bobby, attraente, benvoluto ma un po' grossolano, non potrebbero essere più diversi: eppure diventano amici inseparabili e poi amanti nel corso di un'intensa e tormentata adolescenza a Cleveland, Ohio. Durante gli anni del college si perdono di vista, per poi ritrovarsi a New York dove Jonathan vive con l'amica del cuore Clare. Quando Bobby si trasferisce da loro e comincia una relazione con la ragazza, gli equilibri sentimentali e interiori dei tre ne vengono inevitabilmente sconvolti.

It’s November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is inspired to look up at the sky; there he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn’t believe in visions - or in God - but he can’t deny what he’s seen. At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighbourhood of Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett’s older brother, a struggling musician, is trying - and failing - to write a song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill.

Simon, Catherine, Lucas. Un uomo, una donna, un bambino, tre storie ambientate a New York in epoche diverse: la seconda metà del diciannovesimo secolo, il tempo presente, un futuro post atomico imprecisato. In un romanzo sorprendente, tra atmosfere gotiche, suspense da thriller e un'avventura d'amore e di sopravvivenza, una poesia di Walt Whitman attraversa le esistenze dei tre protagonisti in un gioco di specchi tra personaggi che ritornano misteriosamente tra passato, presente e futuro.

Peter e Rebecca Harris sono una coppia di mezza età, sposati da oltre vent'anni. Vivono a New York e lavorano entrambi nel campo dell'arte, lui come gallerista e lei come direttrice di una rivista. Benestanti, realizzati, ben inseriti nella vita sociale newyorkese, proprietari di un appartamento in una zona prestigiosa, non hanno preoccupazioni se non il freddo rapporto con la figlia Bea, che vive a Boston. Ai più, comunque, la loro vita sembra perfetta, o perlomeno invidiabile.

Uma maçã envenenada e uma pata de macaco que têm o poder de mudar o destino; uma menina cujos cabelos extraordinariamente compridos são responsáveis por uma catástrofe; um homem com um braço humano e uma asa de cisne; e uma casa, bem nos confins da floresta, feita de confeitos de goma e biscoito de gengibre, glacê de baunilha e açúcar cozido. Em Um cisne selvagem e outras histórias, os habitantes e talismãs de terras distantes, muito distantes – as figuras míticas de nossa infância –, se veem transformados pelo premiado autor Michael Cunningham em histórias de sublime revelação.

A journey tale about love, loss, and what it truly means to come home. Written and read by the author, Michael Thomas Cunningham.

When Christy is discovered by Jacks biological daughter, Jennifer, the truth is finally ...

Det er november 2004. 38-årige Barrett Meeks er nok engang ramt af kærlighedskvaler og går nedbtrykt gennem Central Park. Pludselig ser han et blegt, gennemskinneligt lys på nattehimlen. Barrett tror ikke på åbenbaringer – og heller ikke på Gud – men han kan ikke benægte det, han har oplevet. Samtidig, i den mindre mondæne del af Brooklyn, kæmper Barretts ældre bror, musikeren Tyler, med at skrive en bryllupssang til sin kommende hustru, Beth. Beth er alvorligt syg, og Tyler er fast besluttet på, at sangen skal stå som et varigt udtryk for hans kærlighed til hende.

På overfladen lever Peter og Rebecca Harris en misundelsesværdig tilværelse i New York omgivet af kunst og byens pulserende liv. Han er gallerist, hun er redaktør, og de lever et liv, hvor venner er noget man har i overflod, og cocktailpartys er det, man slår tiden ihjel med. Men en uro ulmer i Peter. For midt i det tilsyneladende perfekte liv længes han efter, at livet for alvor rammer ham. Og det gør det. I skikkelse af Rebeccas lillebror Mizzy – der egentlig hedder Ethan, men bliver kaldt Mizzy: ”Fejltagelsen”.

Michael Cunninghams Pulitzerprisvindende "TIMERNE" skildrer tre dage i tre vidt forskellige kvinders liv. Clarissa Vaughan, forlagsredaktør i 1990'ernes New York, forbereder et selskab for sin ven, digteren Richard, og går en smuk junimorgen ud for at købe blomster. Virginia Woolf er mere end 70 år tidligere i færd med at skrive sin berømte roman "Mrs. Dalloway" og overvejer forskellige åbninger. I Los Angeles i 1949 er den hjemmegående husmor Laura Brown netop begyndt at læse "Mrs. Dalloway", men afbrydes, fordi sønnen Richie og ægtemanden Dan kræver hendes opmærksomhed.
