SPECIMEN DAYS BY MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM IN SOUTH AFRICA

 A beautiful young woman, a boy, his dead brother.  Three people, three destinies - in three very different stories.  In the squalor and wonder of 19th-century New York the machine age is born; a modern metropolis is in thrall to the threat of random terror; and on a future Earth otherworldly life has arrived.  In each the trio take different roles, altered but recognisable, travelling towards some strange, beautiful, redemptive end. A haunting, explosively inventive novel, Specimen Days is the work of one of the most daring and visionary writers. Soft cover, good condition.  304 pages.
