Michael Cunningham, author of the Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Hours,
The whole course of one's life really can change in an instant. Peter is forty-four, prosperous, childless, the owner of a big New York apartment, a player in the NY contemporary art dealing scene. He has been married to Rebecca for close on twenty years. Their marriage is sound, in the way marriages are. Peter might even describe himself to be happy. But when Mizzy, Rebecca's much younger brother, comes to stay, his world is turned upside down. Returning to their New York flat after work one day, Peter sees the outline of Rebecca in the shower. But when he opens the shower door, it is Mizzy he comes face to face with. From that moment on, Mizzy who occupies all of Peter's thoughts. His fascination with him is erotic but not exactly sexual. Without ever really falling out of love with his wife, he tumbles into love with her brother, and is encouraged that way by the young man. With traces of the tensions that ripple through Death in Venice, this new novel from Michael Cuningham brilliantly examines the quest for unattainable, and temporal, beauty.

评分各个方面都很平庸或是流俗的一本
评分很失望的一本书,Cunningham的文笔当然是好的,那篇《纽约时报》的文章也让我觉得他很有思想,但本书几乎只有文笔不错这一个优点。除此之外,本书的故事和人物老套不可信,作者本身也几乎没有什么想说的,因此只能绕着一个很俗套、小众的故事说来说去,最后还是有产阶级者的无病呻吟。非常不推荐。
