I started Cunningham's new novel with great expectations - I must admit I'm a fan - but I was puzzled at first: this book is so different from his previous ones. And then I was captivated by his old charm. The section 'In the Machine' haunts you a long time after you finish it and the difference to his previous books is the unease and horror that characters experience. There may be hope but it's far away.
