This book was so sad, but I really liked it. It made me laugh and cry. I don't usually like sad books, but there was something about it. I just couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading more by Michael Cunningham.

Dear Michael,

All I can say is:

I really, really, really like you. Because you speak to me in a special way and somehow I relate to your crazy characters.

I guess I'm becoming a sort of fan of yours now.

It could be worse.

I could be admiring someone else, someone much more mediocre than you, and that would suck. Big time.

From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours, comes this widely praised novel 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.
