"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 _
