麥剋.康寧漢(Michael Cunningham,《時時刻刻,The Hours》的作者) 的第三本小說的《Flesh and Blood》是1996年浪達獎(Lambda Literary Award)的得獎書籍,同時也獲得瞭「懷丁作傢獎」Whiting Writer's Award)。
In Flesh and Blood, Michael Cunningham takes us on a masterful journey
through four generations of the Stassos family as he examines the dynamics of
a family struggling to "come of age" in the 20th century.
In 1950, Constantine Stassos, a Greek immigrant laborer, marries Mary Cuccio, an
Italian-American girl, and together they produce three children: Susan, an ambitious
beauty, Billy, a brilliant homosexual, and Zoe, a wild child. Over the years, a web of
tangled longings, love, inadequacies and unfulfilled dreams unfolds as Mary and
Constantine's marriage fails and Susan, Billy, and Zoe leave to make families of
their own. Zoe raises a child with the help of a transvestite, Billy makes a life
with another man, and Susan raises a son conceived in secret, each extending
the meaning of family and love. With the power of a Greek tragedy, the story
builds to a heartbreaking crescendo, allowing a glimpse into contemporary life
which will echo in one's heart for years to come.
