Peter and Rebecca Harris: mid-forties denizens of Manhattan's SoHo, nearing the apogee of committed careers in the arts--he a dealer, she an editor. With a spacious loft, a college-age daughter in Boston, and lively friends, they are admirable, enviable contemporary urbanites with every reason, it seems, to be happy. Then Rebecca's much younger look-alike brother, Ethan (known in thefamily as Mizzy, "the mistake"), shows up for a visit. A beautiful, beguiling twenty-three-year-old with a history of drug problems, Mizzy is wayward, at loose ends, looking for direction. And in his presence, Peter finds himself questioning his artists, their work, his career--the entire world he has so carefully constructed. Like his legendary, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Hours," Michael Cunningham's masterly new novel is a heartbreaking look at the way we live now. Full of shocks and aftershocks, it makes us think and feel deeply about the uses and meaning of beauty and the place of love in our lives.

最後三十頁完全jaw dropping。我覺得比the hours還要齣色。無論怎麼抗爭,我們是不是都無法逃離生活的平庸本質,就算短暫地脫離,最後還是隻能迴到原本的軌道上。

評分藝術,現實,愧疚,禁忌,死亡,須臾,中年危機……全書用閃迴的手法在敘事者短暫而程式化的生活切片中散落下dark moments,結尾看來倒也暗暗地透齣一綫希望。敘事者一直在反復思忖著靈魂和本質,是啊,那煙霧般含混的一團,它藏著我們對美的狂戀,對自毀的偏執,和那渴求逃離定式的野望。

評分The story is quite simple. But still, it's worth reading.
