Picked this up at the Book Thing of Baltimore, MD.
I got to meet Michael Cunningham and have him sign another copy of this book for me. He's such a nice guy who doesn't take himself too seriously but is passionate about his art; that's the best kind of writer :-)
My thoughts:
Gorgeous.
This is the story of three (well, four, five, six really) characters finding their ways in the world and with each other. They form strong bonds that they're constantly reevaluating and testing as they grow as people. It's like a whole string of observations about what it's like to be a person and live the way you want to live (conventional or un) but not knowing if that's how you'd be happiest living. They love each other on so many levels that it's almost as though they find it hard to love each other on the most basic level and trust that they're being loved back. It's really fascinating getting inside their heads and seeing the world.
I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat, and I was yelling at the CD player when things gave a twist in a direction I didn't like. The characters didn't behave the way I would, which is why I think I liked getting to know them so much- that unpredictability.
