      About This Book

      IN Specimen Days, THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR of The Hours, Michael Cunningham, celebrates America in all its grime and glory, its poetry and its terror, from the industrial revolution to a postapocalyptic future. As a man, a woman, and a boy reappear in different guises in different centuries, the novel itself moves from a Victorian ghost story to a contemporary psychological police thriller and finally to a futuristic love story. Featuring Walt Whitman and a metamorphosing New York City, Specimen Days is a breathtakingly beautiful celebration of the transforming power of love and art through the centuries.
