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.

The story is quite simple. But still, it's worth reading.
评分Michael Cunningham is one of the special ones to me.
评分最后三十页完全jaw dropping。我觉得比the hours还要出色。无论怎么抗争，我们是不是都无法逃离生活的平庸本质，就算短暂地脱离，最后还是只能回到原本的轨道上。
评分其实是很不容易读的一本书 作者太爱画外音内心戏旁白吐槽 有点annoying and it gets super distracted semi-open ending we've tried and failed and tried and failed so many times that eventually there is nothing left for us but just to try again
评分Michael Cunningham is one of the special ones to me.
