THE HOURS - MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM GEBUNDEN

The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that became a motion picture starring Meryl Streep  Julianne
Moore  and Nicole Kidman  directed by Stephen Daldry from a screenplay by David Hare. 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.
