Title: Very satisfying Read
Product review: 'At Home' is not exactly how I'd call the moment when the book concludes, but the process we are invted to participate in these compelling 300 plus pages, is at home, as interiorised as we could expect from literature. I haven't read a lot of Cunningham. Only his Specimen Days which feels more contrived than this earlier work, more arty, if you like. If you've shared a healthy dose of the period in which the novel evokes you'll sympathise with the brilliance of the author's meticulous descriptions. Cunningham lists the soundtrack of the era, the Doors, the Van Morrisons whatever to help us along the trajectory. The very reservations and acceptances of the generational attitudes to homosexual couplings is unparalled, so far as my reading has taken me. And the triangulated thing takes me into unexplored territory. The inter-generational manouverings are poignant though I was less convinced, less involved when the final Woodstock setting arrived.
