From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of âThe Hoursâ and new novel âThe Snow Queenâ, time, technology and love are the central concerns of a provocative novel that calls to mind David Mitchellâs âCloud Atlasâ.
Lucas, Catherine, Simon: three characters meet time and again in the three linked narratives that form âSpecimen Daysâ.
The first, a science fiction of the past, tells of a boy whose brother was âdevouredâ 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, âSpecimen Daysâ is a genre-bending, haunting ode to life itself â a work of surpassing power and beauty by one of the most original and daring writers at work today.Â
