Que Son Valley is actually a large area of hills and valleys just to the west of Da Nang, Viet Nam. During the 1960s, units from the US Marines and US Army engaged the 2nd North Vietnamese Division in heavy and close combat. Our mission was to keep the enemy from capturing the cities of Da Nang, Tam Ky, and Chu Lai and to pacify the area. We did prevent the enemy from capturing these vital cities, but the area was far from pacified.

Three separate women, living in different locations and eras, are linked by their passion for Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs Dalloway. As they each live through a Tuesday in June, their thoughts and experiences mirror each other and become interwoven. In Richmond in 1923, Virginia Woolf struggles to write a novel whose protagonist is Mrs Dalloway. In Los Angeles in 1949, Laura ignores her chores and small son to sit in bed reading Mrs Dalloway. In 1990s New York, Clarissa goes to buy flowers for a party, mirroring the start of the fictional Mrs Dalloway’s day.

Meet Peter and Rebecca Harris: mid-40s 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 lookalike brother, Ethan (known in the family as Mizzy, “the mistake”), shows up for a visit.

April 5, 2019: In a cozy brownstone in Brooklyn, the veneer of domestic bliss is beginning to crack. Dan and Isabel, husband and wife, are slowly drifting apart—and both, it seems, are a little bit in love with Isabel’s younger brother, Robbie. Robbie, wayward soul of the family, who still lives in the attic loft; Robbie, who, trying to get over his most recent boyfriend, is living vicariously through a glamorous avatar online; Robbie, who now has to move out of the house—and whose departure threatens to break the family apart.

It’s November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is inspired to look up at the sky; there he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn’t believe in visions - or in God - but he can’t deny what he’s seen. At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighbourhood of Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett’s older brother, a struggling musician, is trying - and failing - to write a song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill.

Michael Cunningham's luminous novel begins with a vision. It's November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is inspired to look up at the sky; there he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn't believe in visions—or in God—but he can't deny what he's seen. At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett's older brother, a struggling musician, is trying—and failing—to write a wedding song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham’s critically-acclaimed short story "Mister Brother" first appeared in Duke University's DoubleTake magazine and was included in the 1999 O. Henry Prize Stories. “Mister Brother” investigates the relationship between two brothers, a relationship that sustains the fairly universal complication of sibling rivalry. This particular rivalry, however, turns out to bear lifelong consequences neither of the boys could possibly have foreseen.

På overfladen lever Peter og Rebecca Harris en misundelsesværdig tilværelse i New York omgivet af kunst og byens pulserende liv. Han er gallerist, hun er redaktør, og de lever et liv, hvor venner er noget man har i overflod, og cocktailpartys er det, man slår tiden ihjel med. Men en uro ulmer i Peter. For midt i det tilsyneladende perfekte liv længes han efter, at livet for alvor rammer ham. Og det gør det. I skikkelse af Rebeccas lillebror Mizzy – der egentlig hedder Ethan, men bliver kaldt Mizzy: ”Fejltagelsen”.

Michael Cunninghams Pulitzerprisvindende "TIMERNE" skildrer tre dage i tre vidt forskellige kvinders liv. Clarissa Vaughan, forlagsredaktør i 1990'ernes New York, forbereder et selskab for sin ven, digteren Richard, og går en smuk junimorgen ud for at købe blomster. Virginia Woolf er mere end 70 år tidligere i færd med at skrive sin berømte roman "Mrs. Dalloway" og overvejer forskellige åbninger. I Los Angeles i 1949 er den hjemmegående husmor Laura Brown netop begyndt at læse "Mrs. Dalloway", men afbrydes, fordi sønnen Richie og ægtemanden Dan kræver hendes opmærksomhed.

Historie, der fortælles på skift af Bobby og Jonathan, som har været venner siden barndommen, af Jonathans mor og af Jonathans platoniske kærlighed.

Bogen er filmatiseret.

Det er november 2004. 38-årige Barrett Meeks er nok engang ramt af kærlighedskvaler og går nedbtrykt gennem Central Park. Pludselig ser han et blegt, gennemskinneligt lys på nattehimlen. Barrett tror ikke på åbenbaringer – og heller ikke på Gud – men han kan ikke benægte det, han har oplevet. Samtidig, i den mindre mondæne del af Brooklyn, kæmper Barretts ældre bror, musikeren Tyler, med at skrive en bryllupssang til sin kommende hustru, Beth. Beth er alvorligt syg, og Tyler er fast besluttet på, at sangen skal stå som et varigt udtryk for hans kærlighed til hende.

Simon, Catherine, Lucas. Un uomo, una donna, un bambino, tre storie ambientate a New York in epoche diverse: la seconda metà del diciannovesimo secolo, il tempo presente, un futuro post atomico imprecisato. In un romanzo sorprendente, tra atmosfere gotiche, suspense da thriller e un'avventura d'amore e di sopravvivenza, una poesia di Walt Whitman attraversa le esistenze dei tre protagonisti in un gioco di specchi tra personaggi che ritornano misteriosamente tra passato, presente e futuro.

Jonathan, un ragazzo introverso e insicuro, e Bobby, attraente, benvoluto ma un po' grossolano, non potrebbero essere più diversi: eppure diventano amici inseparabili e poi amanti nel corso di un'intensa e tormentata adolescenza a Cleveland, Ohio. Durante gli anni del college si perdono di vista, per poi ritrovarsi a New York dove Jonathan vive con l'amica del cuore Clare. Quando Bobby si trasferisce da loro e comincia una relazione con la ragazza, gli equilibri sentimentali e interiori dei tre ne vengono inevitabilmente sconvolti.

In each section of Michael Cunningham's new book, we encounter the same group of characters: a young boy, an older man, and a young woman. "In the Machine" is a ghost story which takes place at the height of the Industrial Revolution, as human beings confront the alienated realities of the new machine age. "The Children's Crusade," set in the early twenty-first century, plays with the conventions of the noir thriller as it tracks the pursuit of a terrorist band which is detonating bombs seemingly at random around the city.

A poisoned apple and a monkey's paw with the power to change fate; a girl whose extraordinarily long hair causes catastrophe; a man with one human arm and one swan's wing; and a house deep in the forest, constructed of gumdrops and gingerbread, vanilla frosting and boiled sugar. In A Wild Swan and Other Tales, the people and the talismans of lands far, far away—the mythic figures of our childhoods and the source of so much of our wonder—are transformed by Michael Cunningham into stories of sublime revelation.

"Die Stunden" ist ein kunstvoller konstruierter Generationen-Roman über drei Frauen, die aus ihrem Leben ausbrechen wollen...

Come tre fili sottili, s'intrecciano in questo romanzo le vite di tre donne lontane nel tempo. La prima è Virginia Woolf, ritratta nei suoi ultimi giorni e, con un salto temporale, mentre dà vita al personaggio della signora Dalloway. Nel frattempo Clarissa, editor newyorkese di oggi, compra i fiori per festeggiare l'amico più amato, e la signora Brown, casalinga californiana del dopoguerra, tenta di sfuggire alla prigione della sua vita matrimoniale.
