Specimen Days by Michael Cunningham

Title: Specimen Days by Michael Cunningham

Description:

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
