The Hours

The Hours

by Michael Cunningham

  • LITERATURE
  • 2000
  • PAPER
  • 230 PAGES

OK, we're biased, since Cunningham is a friend of Longitude's. But trust us, the 1999 Pulitzer-Prize committee was right on the mark. This book interweaves three tales, one in 1950's Los Angeles, another in contemporary New York, and the final in London (or outside) in the 1920's. Each echoes Viginia Woolf's masterpiece, Mrs. Dalloway. This is simply a marvelous read: deep, dark, yet wondrously full of hope.  (NYC67, $14.00)
