Title: Hours, the
Author: Michael Cunningham
Genre: fiction
Rating: 
In this book everything is hang up on one term: intertextuality.
Mrs. Dalloway is the subject/object that is the intermediate between three
women, three, as it seems at first, totally different and incoherent lives. There is Virginia
Woolf, who is writing Mrs Dalloway, struggling with her story.
There is Laura Brown, who is reading Mrs Dalloway and Clarissa who is the late
'90 version of Mrs Dalloway. Every woman has her own struggles and doubts. We, the readers, are given a look
in their worlds, their emotions, thoughts and eventually their decisions.
It' s a story about live and death, or better yet, about the decision to live or
to die.
Telling anything else is giving the story away, because everything has to do
with everything else. Just read this one for yourself!
