The Hours : A Novel by Michael Cunningham (2000)   sharibillops | May 20, 2022 |  Although I don't usually like stream-of-consciousness or the use of historical figures as characters, I really enjoyed this book. Surprisingly, the author was able to make three ordinary days in the lives of the three women very compelling. I would have liked more insight from Leonard Woolf or Richard, whom I found the most interesting - besides Virginia, of course - but I suppose Michael Cunningham wanted to keep the focus on the women. (  ) doryfish | Jan 29, 2022 | All I remember from watching The Hours is sobbing while watching Meryl Streepês character, who I loved/hated, sob in her kitchen. This book feel beautiful and round and sad and true. Wish IÂêd re-read Mrs. Dalloway first. ( ) essarbee | Dec 25, 2021 | This is one of my all time favorite books. For once, it was deserving of the Pulitzer Prize [so many PP winners don't live up to the hype and expectations]. Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Wolf is the inspiration for the book, and that didn't really appeal to me. BUT IT WORKS! Along with Cunningham's prose, descriptions and feelings he portrays. This book is like a favorite painting- how does one describe exactly what makes it all work? (  ) JanEPat | Dec 7, 2021 | Non so se definirlo una delusione, però questo libro mi ha lasciato parecchie perplessità. Ma andiamo per gradi: l'idea è indubbiamente suggestiva, un romanzo scritto dal triplice punto di vista di una scrittrice, della sua protagonista e di una sua lettrice; ognuna di loro ha una personalità ben distinta ed è immersa in una diversa epoca storica, ma i problemi che affrontano sono universali e convergono tutti sull'accettazione di sé e la ricerca della realizzazione personale. Interessanti anche i vari rimandi e collegamenti, che contribuiscono a farci percepire il legame spirituale fra queste tre figure apparentemente così diverse. Tutto perfetto quindi? Sì ma fin troppo, perchè quel che ci ritroviamo tra le mani è un esercizio intellettuale e non un romanzo vero e proprio. Ogni particolare è studiato a tavolino, ogni parola è calibrata per creare una certa impressione: insomma un'opera tutta cerebrale a cui mancano il pathos e la spontaneità. Perfino lo stile è privo di identità, affascinante ma a ben guardare non è altro che la prosa della Woolf riveduta e corretta. In conclusione un libro con tante qualità ma freddo, che non è riuscito ad entrarmi nel cuore. (  ) Lilirose_ | Dec 5, 2021 |
Cunningham gives you every chance to hear his echoes of Woolf's style: the whimsical similes, the rueful parentheses, the luminous circumstantial detail. And the narrative method is a homage to Woolf's novel. Each section imitates Mrs Dalloway by being restricted to the events of a single day, and follows the stream of one consciousness, only to leave it, for a sentence or a paragraph, for another....Imitation is fitting because Woolf's original novel was trying to do justice to the sharpness of new experience, even as it detonates old memories, and this endeavour is always worth trying afresh. We don't have to read ''Mrs. Dalloway'' before we can read ''The Hours,'' and no amount of pedantic comparison-hunting will help us understand it if we don't understand it already. But the connections between the two books, after the initial, perhaps overelaborate laying out of repetitions and divergences, are so rich and subtle and offbeat that not to read ''Mrs. Dalloway'' after we've read ''The Hours'' seems like a horrible denial of a readily available pleasure -- as if we were to leave a concert just when the variations were getting interesting.

A trio of stories based around the writer, Virginia Woolf. In the first, set in 1923, Woolf is writing her novel, Mrs. Dalloway. In the second, in 1949 Los Angeles, Laura Brown can't seem to stop reading Woolf. In the present, 52-year-old Clarissa Vaughan is planning a party for her oldest love, a poet dying of AIDS. These women's lives are linked both by the 1925 novel and by the few precious moments of possibility. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
