Narrative Concering Books A Home at the End of the World

Michael Cunningham’s celebrated novel is the story of two boyhood friends: 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.

Article About Books A Home at the End of the World

"A Home at the End of the World" was my first Cunningham's book and I can already say that it's not going to be the last one. The book is evolving slowly, and my reading was slowed down even more, because I was traveling while I was reading it. I am glad about it, as it seemed to require time to think it over and digest it. The first thing that comes to mind when I think about "A Home at the End of the World" is that it is an awkward book. It is awkward, because it is too real, too intimate, too

I read this gorgeously evocative novel 20 years ago, and can still remember indelible moments in the most vivid manner.

If I could give this more than five stars, I would. Its so beautiful and touching. The characters feel very real and its great that the story is told from more than one perspective. It has been a wonderful reading experience.

4.5/5 This started out amazing, got kind of muddled for me in the middle and ended brilliantly. This is about a kind of love triangle between Jonathan, his best friend Bobby and Clare. Jonathan and Bobby meet as teenagers and become inseperable. While Jonathan is gay, it is less clear what Bobby is, besides devoted to Jonathan. When Jonathan moves away to New York City (this is a Cunningham novel, so of course there's NYC... and complicated sibling relationships and some drugs, but not that

This book was my introduction to Michael Cunningham, and when I finished it I cried. And then went out and bought everything he'd ever written. I fell in love with this book. At that time in my life I could relate to its characters and their story in a unique way, but it was also Cunningham's writing: spare, lovely, gorgeously aware of minutiae, devastatingly honest. There is a sadness in his work that fills me with a profound loneliness that I find myself both overwhelmed by and grateful for."A

I think I'm experiencing Cunningham Fatigue. I've read four of his novels in the last two years and they are starting to run together. He does seem to work with very similar themes in his works, something I actually like about him. This novel reminds me a lot of his most recent novel, The Snow Queen, another story about a trio, quartet if you want to count Alice in this novel, and Liz in the other novel. (Liz is very similar to Clare, I should add). It feels like Cunningham uses his novels to
