Land's End - A Walk in Provincetown (Paperback)

"Cunningham's short book is a haunting, beautiful piece of work. . . . A magnificent work of art." --"The Washington Post""Easily read on a plane-and-ferry journey from here to the sandy, tide-washed tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, "Land's End" is that most perfect of companions: slender, eloquent, enriching, and fun. . . . A casually lovely ode to Provincetown." --"The Minneapolis Star Tribune""Cunningham rambles through Provincetown, gracefully exploring the unusual geography, contrasting seasons, long history, and rich stew of gay and straight, Yankee and Portuguese, old-timer and 'washashore' that flavors Cape Cod's outermost town. . . . Chock-full of luminous descriptions . . . . He's hip to its studied theatricality, ever-encroaching gentrification and physical fragility, and he can joke about its foibles and mourn its losses with equal aplomb." --"Chicago Tribune""A homage to the 'city of sand'. . . Filled with finely crafted sentences and poetic images that capture with equal clarity the mundanities of the A&P and Provincetown's magical shadows and light . . . Highly evocative and honest. It takes you there." --"The Boston Globe"
