The One Book, One New Paltz selection for 2008.
This book, Laura Shaine Cunningham's childhood memoir, has been widely acclaimed. After her mother died of cancer when she was eight years old, Cunningham was raised and nurtured in a family made up of her two eccentric uncles and an equally unusual grandmother. Michiko Kautani in the New York Times described Sleeping Arrangements as a "wonderfully vivid chronicle of a young girl's coming of age...funny and sad, irreverent and generous...A model memoir."
Cunningham, who lives in the region and is a native New Yorker, is an award-winning novelist, playwright, and journalist. Her memoirs Sleeping Arrangements and A Place in the Country , were both excerpted in the New Yorker magazine. In addition, Cunningham has written for the Atlantic Monthly, Allure, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and the New York Times.
