Sobre este título

From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours, comes the acclaimed novel of two boyhood friends A Home at the End of the World, now a feature film starring Colin Farrell and Dallas Roberts Jonathan.

There's 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.

Resumo da Crítica

<p>“Lyrical . . . Memorable and accomplished.” —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br><br>“Novels don't come more deeply felt than Cunningham's extraordinary four-character study . . . The writing [is] a constant pleasure, flowing and yet dense with incisive images and psychological nuance.” —<i>Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe</i><br><br>“The story of Jonathan, Clare, Bobby, and Alice is also the story of the 70's and 80's in America--and vice versa. It is destined to last.” —<i>David Leavitt, author of The Marble Quilt</i><br><br>“Cunningham has written a novel that all but reads itself.” —<i>The Washington Post Book World</i><br><br>“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 [this one].” —<i>Sherry Rosenthal, San Diego Tribune</i><br><br>“Luminous with the wonders and anxieties that make childhood mysterious . . . A Home at the End of the World is a remarkable accomplishment.” —<i>Laura Frost, San Francisco Review</i><br><br>“Brilliant and satisfying . . . As good as anything I've read in years . . . Hope in the midst of tragedy is a fragile thing, and Cunningham carries it with masterful care.” —<i>Gayle Kidder, San Diego Union</i><br><br>“Exquisitely written . . . Lyrical . . . An important book.” —<i>Charleston Sunday News and Courier</i><br><br>“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.” —<i>Richard Eder, The Los Angeles Times</i></p>
