From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'The Hours', time,
technology and love are the central concerns of a provocative novel
that calls to mind David Mitchell's 'Cloud Atlas'. Lucas,
Catherine, Simon: three characters meet time and again in the three
linked narratives that form 'Specimen Days'. The first, a science
fiction of the past, tells of a boy whose brother was 'devoured' by
the machine he operated. The second is a noirish thriller set in
our century, as a police psychologist attempts to track down a
group of terrorists. And the third and final strand accompanies two
strange beings into the future. A novel of connecting and
reconnecting, inspired by the writings of the great visionary poet
Walt Whitman, 'Specimen Days' is a genre-bending, haunting ode to
life itself - a work of surpassing power and beauty by one of the
most original and daring writers at work today.
