Title: Echoes of Mrs. Dalloway, but more and less.
Product review: I read "The Hours" and "Mrs. Dalloway" back to back and found "Dalloway" breathtaking and "Hours" a great read in its own right. I think it's really unfair to try to compare them, though Cunningham certainly invites the comparison. I found the principal characters of "Hours" quite interesting, the story line(s) fascinating, and the prose very expressive. Although I really love this book, I found one bit of geographic sloppiness very distracting: an early scene (p.50) describes an event occuring in lower Manhattan at the corner of Spring and MacDougal Streets. No such corner exists. I suspect the author had in mind either Prince and MacDougal or Spring and Sullivan.
