Julia Glass' debut novel, "Three Junes", won the National Book Award for Fiction in 2002.The three-part tale takes place during the Junes of 1989, 1995, and 1999, following one Scottish family through moments of grief and joy, closeness and distance.“Masterfully,” Katherine Wolff writes in The New York Times Book Review, “Three Junes shows how love follows a circuitous path, how its messengers come to wear disguises. Julia Glass has written a generous book about family expectations—but also about happiness, luck, and, as she puts it, the ‘grandiosity of genes.’”“Glass’s ability to illuminate and deepen the mysteries of her characters’ lives is extraordinary.” - Michael Cunningham
Cavemodern was founded in 2005 as a home for important "modern" books and works on paper. "Cave" meant a home for both the tangible touch of beautiful objects and a cozy virtual den for armchair exploration. "Modern" starts with the art and literature that went beyond realistic depictions to expressive use of color, non-traditional materials, and new techniques and mediums. Our focus has evolved to be on important pieces by cultural innovators that take their work in new, unexpected, and modern directions. |
