From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours, comes the acclaimed novel of two boyhood friends A Home at the End of the World, now a feature film starring Colin Farrell and Dallas Roberts Jonathan.
There's Jonathan, lonely, introspective, and unsure of himself; and Bobby, hip, dark, and inarticulate. In New York after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a veteran of the city's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare's child. Then, when Clare and Bobby have a baby, the three move to a small house upstate to raise "their" child together and, with an odd friend, Alice, create a new kind of family.
A Home at the End of the World masterfully depicts the charged, fragile relationships of urban life today.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Lyrical . . . Memorable and accomplished.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Novels don't come more deeply felt than Cunningham's extraordinary four-character study . . . The writing [is] a constant pleasure, flowing and yet dense with incisive images and psychological nuance.” —Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe
“Cunningham writes with power and delicacy . . . We come to feel that we know Jonathan, Bobby, and Clare as if we lived with them; yet each one retains the mystery that in people is called soul, and in fiction is called art.” —Richard Eder, The Los Angeles Times

What did you like best about A Home at the End of the World? What did you like least?
The narrators were great. Although I couldn't bring myself to like Clair or Jonathan I could picture them well in my mind. The best thing I can say about the story is, if you ever think your life is screwed up listen to the lives of these losers and you'll feel much better. These people make suicide seem like a viable option.What was one of the most memorable moments of A Home at the End of the World?
The ending when I felt so much better about my life.Which scene was your favorite?
Alice getting high and enjoying her life for a brief moment.Was A Home at the End of the World worth the listening time?
It held my interest in the hope that Jonathan woud dump the hag, get a real man and have a life.Pathetic lives

Great Book

Astonished to discover— he was as brilliant 30 + years ago as he is today. His story, character, writing finesse, reflections and observations take my breath away about 2-3x/page.
The narration was uneven. Some narrators better than others. None of them measures up to the mastery needed for his writing.
And on a somewhat less important note… but maybe important?- your narrators damn sure ought to know how to pronounce Layers Nyro’s name correctly. Shame on all of the Audible team for letting this embarrassing gaffe get through.
Please Mr. Cunningham write more. No one is in your class any more.
Author’s brilliance is blinding

Is there anything you would change about this book?
the book is about our core loneliness, our sense of being adrift in the world. but i just didn't find it satisfying or feel close to the characters at all.not very compelling
