Description

In this celebration of one of America’s oldest towns (incorporated in 1720), Michael Cunningham, writer of the very best-selling, Pulitzer Prize–winning The Hours, brings us Provincetown, one of the very idiosyncratic and extraordinary towns in america, perched on the sandy tip at the conclusion of Cape Cod.Provincetown, odd, physically distant, and heartbreakingly gorgeous, has been responsive and interesting to outsiders for so long as it's endured. “It may be the only small-town I understand of where those who live unconventionally appear to surpass those who live within the given bounds of certified and house marriage, respected work, and natural kids,” says Cunningham. “It is among the locations on the planet you are able to disappear into. It's the Morocco of The United States, the Brand New Orleans of the north.”He first found the area significantly more than two decades before, falling in deep love with the charm of its denizens and the haunted beauty of its seascape.
