Michael Cunningham
Overview
<p><b>From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of <i>The Hours</i>, comes the acclaimed novel of two boyhood friends <i>A Home at the End of the World</i>, now a feature film starring Colin Farrell and Dallas Roberts Jonathan.</b><br><br>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. <br><br><i>A Home at the End of the World</i> masterfully depicts the charged, fragile relationships of urban life today.</p>
