Land’s End: A Walk in Provincetown
Michael Cunningham (Queen S University Canada),Cunningham
Cunningham’s short book is a haunting, beautiful piece of work… . A magnificent work of art. -The Washington Post
Easily read on a plane-and-ferry journey from here to the sandy, tide-washed tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Land’s End is that most perfect of companions: slender, eloquent, enriching, and fun… . A casually lovely ode to Provincetown. -The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Cunningham rambles through Provincetown, gracefully exploring the unusual geography, contrasting seasons, long history, and rich stew of gay and straight, Yankee and Portuguese, old-timer and ‘washashore’ that flavors Cape Cod’s outermost town… . Chock-full of luminous descriptions … . He’s hip to its studied theatricality, ever-encroaching gentrification and physical fragility, and he can joke about its foibles and mourn its losses with equal aplomb. -Chicago Tribune
A homage to the ‘city of sand’… Filled with finely crafted sentences and poetic images that capture with equal clarity the mundanities of the A&P and Provincetown’s magical shadows and light … Highly evocative and honest. It takes you there. -The Boston Globe
