THE HOURS - MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM KARTONIERT (TB)

Exiled in Richmond in the 1920s  taken from her beloved Bloomsbury and lovingly watched over by
her husband Leonard  Virginia Woolf struggles to tame her rebellious mind and make a start on
her new novel. In the brooding heat of 1940s Los Angeles  a young wife and mother yearns to
escape the claustrophobia of suburban domesticity and read her precious copy of Mrs Dalloway.
And in New York in the 1990s  Clarissa Vaughan steps out of her smart Greenwich Village
apartment and goes shopping for flowers for the party she is giving in honour of her life-long
friend Richard  an award-winning poet whose mind and body are being ravaged by AIDS. These are
the characters in Michael Cunningham's exquisite and deeply moving new novel  which takes
Woolf's life and work as inspiration for a meditation on artistic behaviour  failure  love and
madness. Moving effortlessy across the decades and between England and America  Cunningham's
elegant  haunting prose explores the pain and trauma of creativity and the immutable
relationship between writer and reader.
