Michael Cunningham won both the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Pen/Faulkner Award for his Virginia Woolf-inspired novel, The Hours, subsequently made into an Oscar-winning movie. His other books include A Home at the End of the World, Specimen Days, and The Snow Queen. Although he has described Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway as “the first great novel I read,” it’s Woolf’s To the Lighthouse that makes his list.
