A daring, deeply affecting third novel by the author of A Home at the End of the World and Flesh and Blood. In The Hours, Michael Cunningham, widely praised as one of the most gifted writers of his generation, draws inventively on the life and work of Virginia Woolf to tell the story of a group of contemporary characters struggling with the conflicting claims of love and inheritance, hope and despair. The narrative of Woolf's last days before her suicide early in World War II counterpoints the fictional stories of Samuel, a famous poet whose life has been shadowed by his talented and troubled mother, and his lifelong friend Clarissa, who strives to forge a balanced and rewarding life in spite of the demands of friends, lovers, and family. Passionate, profound, and deeply moving, this is Cunningham's most remarkable achievement to date.

在结构问题上，原著是毫不逊色于改编电影的。文笔之精炼恰到好处，既不比海明威那般“没有一个单词需要查阅字典”又不带丝毫赘述以及无关紧要的情节。客观叙事为主，喜欢看作家把玩句子的可以自行跳过这部作品，或选择直接观影。

文字美，有節奏有揚抑，難得讀英文小說可以不被分析悲催大長句的語法干擾。只是書中人物性格太糾結了哈，神經大條的人表示難以理解。

我觉得我现在成了这个样子与这本书关系很大，而且感觉电影比原著还要精彩。

dedicated to Mrs. Dalloway 但是不算太有力量。“死去的一定要是诗人”的point在书里并没有什么说服力。最成功的一幕应该是”Woolf”与the sister’s daughter在花园里为一只鸟举办葬礼。“死去的”不见得是“诗人”，但是死亡，唯有在诗人的手中，才会留下真正的痕迹乃至是烙印。

Still, we cherish the city, the morning; we hope, more than anything, for more. Heaven only knows why we love it so.
