meh, i don't have much to add... but feel i should write something....
I just started reading the hours for the third time. It's one of my favorite books of all time .. and i feel like i notice something new about it every time i pick it up.
The Hours is pretty much a glorified retelling of Virgina Woolf's Post Modern classic Mrs. Dalloway. Hmmm... perhaps i mislead by saying that is it a retelling. Yea ... i definitely do mislead..i'll start over.
The Hours is a tribute to Mrs. Dalloway, a quintessential post modern classic. Micheal Cunningham created a modern masterpiece by piecing together different stories that connect to create a solid picture. Some the connections made are the relationship of the author to the novel to the reader to the family to the friends to the lover. Even more still are connections between life and death between sanity and insanity .. its complex .. it is dense it is beautifully descriptive .. it makes me smile and much as it makes me frown ...i adore this book.
