Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 260 pages. Published in 2014. The author's seventh novel. One of Michael Cunningham's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. "Autographed Copy" round green sticker pasted in front. Presents Michael Cunningham's "The Snow Queen". Named after the great Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about a sister who travels arduous distances to save her brother, who has a shard of mirror glass stuck in his eye. Cunningham retains the sibling-cum-illness motif and transposes the tale to our time, about two brothers and the terminally ill sister they both care for and love dearly. "That voice, Cunningham's inimitable style, is the real miracle of 'The Snow Queen'. Sentence by sentence, he moves across the surface of these pages like some suave, literary god. He writes so wisely about the cruel taunting of remission and the way illness both deepens and frays romantic relationships, endowing the dying with a kind of security and purpose that healthy people crave. Full of affecting pathos" (The Washington Post). "We want escapism, of course, but there's another, more complicated, kind of escapism that we also want - an escape into a different, possibly larger, more immediately meaningful world. Fairy tales, movies, novels, they all take us out of the confines of ourselves, of our lives, even if we're perfectly happy with our lives. Because there are other lives too" (Michael Cunningham). An absolute "must-have" title for Michael Cunningham collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated (on the day of publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Michael Cunningham May 6, 2014". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Cunningham launched the book in New York City. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and publication-day dated copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. "A Home At The End of The World" was selected as one of "The 200 Best Novels in English Since 1950" by The Modern Library, the most prestigious list of its kind for the period 1950-1999. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature and The Pen/Faulkner Award in 1999 for "The Hours". One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Richard Phibbs (Author photograph) (illustrator). The format is approximately 5.75 inches by 8.5 inches. [10], 258, [4] pages. Signed by the author on title page. Minor wear and flap corner creasing noted. Michael Cunningham (born November 6, 1952) is an American novelist and screenwriter. He is best known for his 1998 novel The Hours, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award in 1999. Cunningham is Professor in the Practice of Creative Writing at Yale University. The Hours established Cunningham as a major force in the American writing sphere, and his 2010 novel, By Nightfall, was also well received by U.S. critics. Cunningham edited a book of poetry and prose by Walt Whitman, Laws for Creations, and co-wrote, with Susan Minot, a screenplay adapted from Minot's novel Evening. He was a producer for the 2007 film Evening, starring Glenn Close, Toni Collette, and Meryl Streep. In November 2010, Cunningham judged one of NPR's "Three Minute Fiction" contests. In April 2018, it was announced that Cunningham would serve as consulting producer for a revival of the Tales of the City miniseries, which is based on Armistead Maupin's book series of the same name. The miniseries premiered on June 7, 2019. Michael Cunningham's luminous novel begins with a vision. It's November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is inspired to look up at the sky; there he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn't believe in visions-or in God-but he can't deny what he's seen. At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett's older brother, a struggling musician, is trying-and failing-to write a wedding song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill. Tyler is determined to write a song that will be not merely a sentimental ballad but an enduring expression of love. Barrett, haunted by the light, turns unexpectedly to religion. Tyler grows increasingly convinced that only drugs can release his creative powers. Beth tries to face mortality with as much courage as she can summon. Cunningham follows the Meeks brothers as each travels down a different path in his search for transcendence. In subtle, lucid prose, he demonstrates a profound empathy for his conflicted characters and a singular understanding of what lies at the core of the human soul. The Snow Queen, beautiful and heartbreaking, comic and tragic, proves again that Cunningham is one of the great novelists of his generation. Derived from a Kirkus review: An apparition spotted in Central Park has a man marveling at the place of magic in our lives. Or is it all just a trick of the light? November 2004: Middle-aged Barrett, bright but aimless, has just been dumped and has hit the skids professionally. He's moved into a Brooklyn apartment with his songwriter brother, Tyler, who hides a cocaine addiction and fumes at Dubya-era politics while caring for his fiancee, Beth, in rapid decline from Stage 4 cancer. Amid all this, Barrett is struck by a vision of "pale aqua light" in the night sky that suggests something bigger and more transcendent. Fast-forward a year: Beth's in remission, Barrett is settled, and Tyler's career is looking up. This study of fickle fate from Cunningham has its share of virtues. Since his debut, A Home at the End of the World (1990), he's masterfully characterized ad hoc families, and he's superb at highlighting the ways that small gestures (a finger pressed to a lover's lips; a shift in the way two people sit together) reveal deeper emotional currents. Here, he deftly allows Barrett's vision its power of wonderment while keeping the story firmly realistic. First Edition [stated], Second Printing [stated].

These include: 1) "Golden States" (Crown Publishers - 1984) -- The author's debut, and one which he does not allow to be attributed to him in his other works. Jacket Painting by David Hockney. 2) "A Home at the End of the World" (FSG - 1990) -- a work that tests perceived notions of family, home, and community, to probe the mysteries of our fundamental loyalties. 3) "Flesh and Blood" (FSG - 1995) -- Generous, masterfully crafted, alternately stirring and heartbreaking, "Flesh and Blood" is a rich and memorable sounding of contemporary life. (4) "The Hours" (FSG - 1998) -- His most famous work.

This copy with the correct first state dust jacket price of $22.00. 5) "Land's End" (Crown Journeys - 2002) -- One of the most celebrated of the Crown Journeys series. In this celebration of one of America's oldest towns (incorporated in 1720), the author brings us Provincetown, one of the most idiosyncratic and extraordinary towns in the United States, a haven for writers, perched on the sandy tip at the end of Cape Cod. 6) "Specimen Days" (FSG - 2005) -- "Specimen Days" is a genre-bending, haunting, and transformative ode to life in our greatest city, and a meditation on the direction and meaning of America's destiny. 7) "By Nightfall" (FSG - 2010) -- Like his legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Hours" this novel is a heartbreaking look at the way we live now. Full of shocks and aftershocks, it makes us think and feel deeply about the uses and meaning of beauty and the place of love in our lives. 8) "The Snow Queen" (FSG - 2014) -- Cunningham follows his four principal characters as they travel down decidedly different paths in their collective search for transcendence. In subtle, lucid prose, he demonstrates a profound empathy for his conflicted characters and a singular understanding of what lies at the core of the human soul. 9) "A Wild Swan and Other Tales" (FSG - 2015) -- the people and talismans of lands far, far away - the mythic figures of our childhoods and the source of so much of our wonder--are transformed by Michael Cunningham into stories of sublime revelation.
