Title: A brilliant, brilliant book
Product review: Michael Cunningham's new book is breathtakingly beautiful, haunting, aching. It's full of life--its beauties and its many horrors, from social events gone wrong to plagues and bone-crushing despair. Gorgeously imagined, observed with the eye of a scientist who loves nature as much as himself, and as restrained as the best poetry or painting, THE HOURS is proof positive that literature has its own kind of necessary intelligence, without which we cannot hope for the survival of our culture. This is the kind of book that has to humble anyone who even aspires to writing.
