description: From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours , comes the acclaimed novel of two boyhood friends A Home at the End of the World , now a feature film starring Colin Farrell and Dallas Roberts Jonathan.There's Jonathan, lonely, introspective, and unsure of himself; and Bobby, hip, dark, and inarticulate. In New York after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a veteran of the city's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare's child. Then, when Clare and Bobby have a baby, the three move to a small house upstate to raise "their" child together and, with an odd friend, Alice, create a new kind of family.A Home at the End of the World masterfully depicts the charged, fragile relationships of urban life today.
