From the author of the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel THE HOURS comes a celebration of one of the nation's hidden treasures: Provincetown. "It is the only small town I know of where those who live unconventionally seem to outnumber those who live within the prescribed bonds of home and licensed marriage, respectable job, and biological children," Cunningham writes, having lived there for more than twenty years. Known for its beautiful beaches, quirky shops, and wild nightlife, Provincetown is a place of deep and enduring history - as well as an inspiration for such artists and writers as Tennessee Williams, Eugene O'Neill, and Mark Rothko who, like Cunningham, found in it's beautiful landscape and unconventionality an escapist paradise.
