How do you follow a Pulitzer-prize? Here's how. Specimen Days is, quite simply, like nothing else you've ever read. Part ghost-story, part contemporary thriller and part science fiction, this extraordinary novel forms a powerful triptych of American life past, present and future.
Set against a backdrop of the city that never sleeps, this beautiful book follows three characters through a series of very different incarnations to examine the relationship between technological progress and social decline.
From the dark side of the Industrial Revolution and a young boy haunted by the belief that his brother's spirit is trapped inside the machine that killed him, through the devastation caused by 9/11, to a New York of tomorrow that has ceased to be a living city; the author of The Hours has created a strange and compelling world. A world of poetry and pain, just like our own, only more so.
