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.

another breathtaking novel by Cunningham
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The story is quite simple. But still, it's worth reading.
评分第一本在metro north上读完的小说。开头说columbus circle马车和汽车相撞还蛮直指人心的。每个对话回合后的心理吐槽句真是炉火纯青地好啊
