	Michael Cunningham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Cunningham (born November 6, 1952) is an award-winning American writer/novelist, best known for his 1998 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Hours.
		Cunningham was born in Cincinnati, OH, and grew up in La Canada Flintridge, California, in Los Angeles County.
		Although Cunningham is gay and has been partnered for 18 years, he dislikes being referred to as only a "gay writer", according to a PlanetOut article [1] because while being gay does greatly influence his work, he feels that it is not (and should not be) his defining characteristic.

	Specimen Days by Michael Cunningham: Reviews
		Cunningham's vivid prose captures the intricate weave of love and expectation that propels the hopes of one generation as it fades into another.
		Michael Cunningham is one of the most humane and moving writers we have; but the toiling quality of Specimen Days suggests that (unlike, say, David Mitchell) he may lack the naturally impassioned formalism required to make a multi-genre novel come truly to life.
		Michael Cunningham's imagination is not as vast as Whitman's, and his talents are no match for so many multitudes.

		Michael Cunningham: That is the mother of all questions, because every writer gets stuck; sometimes just a little, sometimes big stuck, as in weeks or even months of feeling you don't know how to do it, or why you did it in the first place.
		Michael Cunningham: I actually started The Hours with a relatively simple idea, which was to place Clarissa Dalloway in the world today, where women have more freedom than she had, and see what her life would be like.
		Michael Cunningham: The book took three years to write, which is fast for me. I am satisfied with the adaptation.

		Michael Cunningham’s new triad of novellas, Specimen Days, follows in the homage-heavy footsteps of The Hours, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, by modelling itself after the “good gray poet” himself, and by lacing its pages with text lifted directly from Leaves of Grass.
		Cunningham is aware of the restrictions (in this case, of a thriller) and is revelling in the rules of the adopted genre.
		Michael Cunningham's imaginative stories are irresistible even when they are nightmarish, and his writing is lyrical and filled with gorgeous imagery and turns of phrase.

	'Specimen Days' by Michael Cunningham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Each of Cunningham's four novels has gotten more vast, while maintaining focus on his core subject -- the struggle to find and nurture human connection in its myriad, original forms.
		Here Cunningham works with three even more diverse narratives, each taking place in a different century and each focused on a trio of characters -- all denizens of New York City, all, perhaps, variations of each other.
		The three novellas showcase Cunningham's enormous writing skills, from the dreamy elegy of a haunted boy trapped in the industrial inferno, to a fast-paced, suspenseful urban thriller, to a fascinating science fiction love story.

		Cunningham, 52, has been riding a high wave since his 1998 novel, ''The Hours," won the Pulitzer Prize and its 2002 movie version, with Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, and Julianne Moore, drew a passel of Academy Award nominations and won for Kidman the Oscar for best actress.
		Cunningham never thought, of course, that one month to the day after his book was published, real-world London would be struck by young male bombers, apparently driven by perverted ideas of sacred scriptures.
		Cunningham wrote the screenplay, ''under duress," he said, otherwise the film wouldn't have been made.

	Powells.com Interviews - Michael Cunningham
		Cunningham: I never end up writing the book I thought I was going to write, but one of the things I did know this time was that I wanted it to begin during the Industrial Revolution, when we ceased after millennia to be a fundamentally agrarian people and became the mechanized society we are today.
		Cunningham: The most surreal experience was seeing these characters, whom I had pictured very clearly in my mind, being played by these actresses and actors, all of whom were remarkable, not one of whom bore any resemblance to the people I had in mind.
		Cunningham: What it means is I am developing this character, this woman named Sophie whose husband dies and who then falls into deep depression and eventually comes out of it, I'm creating the character in conjunction with the actress who will play the character.

		Cunningham sees the thriller genre's bid for gritty realism, and raises the stakes until they actually matter.

		Cunningham: Oh, I think it is not only good for any young writer to read the work of people whose life experiences are very different, it’s good to be read by people whose life experience is very different.
		Cunningham: It is partly an insistence on the discussion of what is working as well as what is not working, and it is partly a mysterious issue of the atmosphere in the room.
		Cunningham: Part of it is, I get a great deal of nourishment from talking with other writers about writing, about where it comes from and solving problems—much of it feeds my own work.

	The problem with Michael Cunningham's new novel. By Meghan O'Rourke - Slate Magazine
		It was, you might say, a justified act of literary vivisection: Cunningham carved up another's body (of work) and peered into it, to see what he, and by implication we, could learn—not only about the remains on the table but about ourselves.
		Cunningham clearly also saw himself as something of an outsider, a writer praised for tackling "gay themes"; and, like many of his peers, gay or not, he longed for the pedigree of an older literary tradition, for a time when highbrow novelists were far more secure about their influence on the elite.
		As the novelist who had first inspired Cunningham to start writing, she was a figure with whom he clearly felt aesthetic kinship; more important, her brand of minute social observation had just the deft structural precision that a blunter writer like Cunningham could benefit from.

		Cunningham is to be applauded for exploring alternatives to a comfy literary franchise.
