Michael Cunningham is an acclaimed novelist. He received his B.A. in English literature from Stanford University and his M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Iowa. His novel “A Home at the End of the World” (1990) received wide acclaim and was later made into a film, directed by Michael Mayer and featuring Colin Farrell, Robin Wright Penn, Dallas Roberts and Sissy Spacek.

In 1999, Cunningham received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award for his novel “The Hours,” which was then made into a film, directed by Stephen Daldry, and featuring Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep. His work has appeared in numerous publications, including The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and The Paris Review. “White Angel,” a short story, was chosen for The Best American Short Stories, 1989, and another story, “Mister Brother,” appeared in the 2000 O. Henry Collection. Cunningham is also the recipient of a Whiting Writers’ Award (1995), a Guggenheim Fellowship (1993), a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (1988), and a Michener Fellowship from the University of Iowa (1982).
