Specimen Days by Michael Cunningham
Three linked narratives—set in a turn-of-the-century city, the contemporary present, and a bleak near future—follow different narrators whose lives intersect through acts of violence, longing, and the uncanny appearance of a childlike figure. Alternating voices examine art, desire, and the effects of technological and social change, while recurring motifs of contagion, masculinity, and literary imagination bind disparate eras into a meditation on memory and human connection.
