Specimen Days

SPECIMEN DAYS was the title of Walt Whitman`s autobiography, written in 1882. Michael Cunningham`s work of fiction, bearing the same title, consists of three novellas set in Whitman`s New York City, all of which evoke the poet in some way. In the Machine, which takes place during Whitman`s time, is about a boy named Lucas who is obsessed with both his dead brother`s girlfriend and Whitman`s poetry. The Children`s Crusade is a contemporary thriller involving a group of suicide bombers--one of whom is named Luke--who are terrorizing Manhattan. Like Beauty is a sci-fi story about an alien and a teenage visionary (Luke again) who live in a post-apocalyptic New York plagued by reptilian alien refugees from another planet. Like his phenomenally successful THE HOURS, Cunningham`s novel tells three very different but interconnected stories. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
