<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>First published in the United States: [New York]: Crown Journeys, c2002.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Cunningham's short book is a haunting, beautiful piece of work. . . . A magnificent work of art. -<i>The Washington Post <p/></i>Easily read on a plane-and-ferry journey from here to the sandy, tide-washed tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, <i>Land's End</i> is that most perfect of companions: slender, eloquent, enriching, and fun. . . . A casually lovely ode to Provincetown. -<i>The Minneapolis Star Tribune<br></i><br>Cunningham rambles through Provincetown, gracefully exploring the unusual geography, contrasting seasons, long history, and rich stew of gay and straight, Yankee and Portuguese, old-timer and 'washashore' that flavors Cape Cod's outermost town. . . . Chock-full of luminous descriptions . . . . He's hip to its studied theatricality, ever-encroaching gentrification and physical fragility, and he can joke about its foibles and mourn its losses with equal aplomb. -<i>Chicago Tribune<br></i><br>A homage to the 'city of sand'. . . Filled with finely crafted sentences and poetic images that capture with equal clarity the mundanities of the A&P and Provincetown's magical shadows and light . . . Highly evocative and honest. It takes you there. -<i>The Boston Globe<br></i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>His quirky guide...presents a very personal view of Provincetown, but at the same time it manages to convey the peculiar, inscrutable intensity characterizing the love so many people have for the place.--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/><i></i>Cunningham writes with the acuity of the Pulitzer winner that he is.--<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/><i></i>A leisurely walking tour and shrewd exposition of that "eccentrics' sanctuary"--Provincetown, Massachusetts.-- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Michael Cunningham is the author of five novels, including <i>By Nightfall</i>, <i>A Home at the End of the World</i>, <i>Flesh and Blood, </i> <i>The Hours</i> (winner of the PEN/Faulkner award and the Pulitzer Prize), and <i>Specimen Days</i>.
