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.

Michael Cunningham is one of the special ones to me.
评分其實是很不容易讀的一本書 作者太愛畫外音內心戲旁白吐槽 有點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another breathtaking novel by Cunningham

评分這書告訴我們計劃生育是多麼明智的一件事。倒是想看看這個作者拿普利策奬的那本The Hours
