Special midday at Elliott Bay reading. A Seattle visit that begins with a Thursday evening reading at Town Hall and concludes with this noon-hour reading at Elliott Bay brings Pulitzer- and PEN/Faulkner Award-winning novelist Michael Cunningham here for his new novel, By Nightfall (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). This is the present-day story of a couple seemingly at the peak of their purpose—in work (arts), in family, in friends. Then, things happen. Delicate balances are altered. How they seem to happen—are perceived and acted upon—make up the heart of this intelligent, perceptive novel. "'What do you do when you're no longer the hero of your own story?' That jolt, that upending realization that your life is just a stream of small dreams and small mistakes, is a defining theme in Cunnigham's coruscatingly excellent fiction (remember The Hours?), expressed here in a way that makes you ache ... Extraordinary." - Library Journal. Michael Cunningham's other novels include A Home at the End of the World, Flesh and Blood, The Hours, and Specimen Days. Please join us.
