New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1990. First Edition; First Printing. 1/4 Cloth. 0374172501 . A Fine first printing of the first edition in equally unblemished dust-jacket, signed and inscribed by author Michael Cunningham to a Virginia collector; From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours, comes this widely praised novel of two boyhood friends: 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; 8vo; [viii], 342, [2] pages; Signed by Author .
