Winner of the 1999 Pulitzer and Pen/Faulkner prizes, The Hours is a daring and deeply affecting novel inspired by the life and work of Virginia Woolf. A passionate, profound and haunting story of love and inheritance, hope and despair. 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 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.

評分去年鼕天最是淒寂之時偶然看瞭一部電影叫做時時刻刻,初看時便被電影的女性視角所吸引,被電影敘事結構的巧妙與意象錶現的優美所打動,一直以為這樣細膩憂傷的作品應該是齣自一位女作傢之手,結果今年三月的時候在書店的女性主題圖書裏看到這本時時刻刻的原著小說,發現這本...
評分除瞭掙紮。 也許真的是腦袋有問題。我會願意在這一間屋子裏生活。齣門,這個城市嚇到瞭我,讓我厭惡。如果你給生活無限做減法,把物質程度降到最低,最後剩下的就是明明白白一目瞭然的一堆糟粕——全部,來自你自身,全部,是你的欲望。 可現在這個名利浮躁的世界令我厭惡,尤...
評分河裏的水越流越急,街道上車水馬龍。 擁擠的城市,隻充滿瞭積極工作的男人。而女人的去嚮變得模糊不清。Virginia Woolf並不能單單被考慮為女性主義作傢。她的思想分散成最細密的分子,充滿在整本書中,覆蓋瞭每一筆墨水。 ---- 在穿過維多利亞街時她心裏想,我們是多麼愚蠢...

看完電影之後找來看的。其實電影沒有看懂。看瞭書之後明白原因瞭--這是一部講拉拉的書吧。結構,語言,人名都和mrs. dalloway類似,很巧妙。
