Remember When the Music rated it 10 years ago
After studying his Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel The Hours in college, there was no doubt in my mind that Michael Cunningham is one of the America’s most brilliant living writers. Seamlessly weaving Virginia Woolf’s life and fiction with a story of his own creating, Cunningham’s novel is an intellige...

Jeste li znali da Mana zovu zaštitnikom nemogućih ljubavi? Ko voli Mana izvolite. Kaningem je definitivno pisac vrijedan pažnje.

I like Michael Cunningham. He’s very clever and goes deep into his characters’ heads. This novel has the kind of The New Yorker-y plot that I usually don’t care for (rich straight couple lead brittle, unfulfilling lives and don’t communicate well) but I did like this book. The main character Peter i...

3.5 starsThis was a really interesting, insightful book. I didn't understand a lot of the art talk, the specifics anyway, but I understood what he was saying. Hugh Dancy was amazing as the narrator. He has such an amazing, articulate way of reading that I did not get bored or tired of hearing him. T...

i love the way michael cunningham writes and honestly i will read anything he deems worthy to put down on paper!however, this book was a little bit flat for me. it might've been the setting - i really don't care about the new york art dealer world. AT ALL. his insight on human relationships is still...

This was a very quick read, and I generally enjoyed the book. It captures, in quite a real sense, the existential crisis of the protagonist. I enjoyed the development of a romance that never quite was, and the possibilities that never took root. I cannot say that this is an important book or a part...

I haven'’t read all that much of Michael Cunningham’'s work. I liked The Hours well enough, but it hinged on a gimmick, and I might have appreciated it more if I’d ever read Mrs. Dalloway (I still haven’t, and it’s not on the horizon. Judge me if you must). Cunningham’'s most recent novel, By Nightf...

Originally posted here.A friend of mine leant me By Nightfall by Michael Cunningham a couple months ago, saying I should read it if I liked The Hours. While I didn't enjoy it as much as his most well-known novel, it was still an engaging, fast read with the occasional delightful little insight.By Ni...

Michael Cunningham's By Nightfall explores the life of Peter Harris, a successful art dealer and one half of a long-married couple, as he struggles through an unexpected midlife crisis. The timeliness of such a topic should not be ignored, as the media and retailers alike bombard society with consta...

Keep your Franzen, I have my Cunningham! Of course I haven't read Freedom yet, but all that media attention that it has got really stepped on my nerves. :DBy Nightfall makes me regret having read some of Cunningham's previous novels in translation only - traduttore, traditore - not that the books we...
