The Hours

In general, my reaction to Cunningham's The Hours has been respectful boredom. The plot is, by far, the worst part of this book, primarily for the fact there hardly is one. The most action was the introduction, and the only "excitement" since the has been Laura Brown's dramatic "cake dumping". That said, i genuinely enjoy Cunningham's use of language, and I often find myself smiling at some introspect full sentence of humorous bit of wording. The idea behind the book, that of rewriting and exploring Mrs. Dalloway is one that surely is difficult to pull of with the success that Cunningham did, and i am lead to believe that this book was not, as he claimed, a tribute to Wolf, but one to himself and his own literary abilities. Micheal, next time do as your idol Wolf did, and put the book before yourself. Shockingly, high school students are net reading your book to have you brag to them through writing.
