New in paper (F99) Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize winning novel that weaves together three stories: Virginia Woolf's last days before her suicide; Laura Brown, a housewife in postwar California who is bringing up her only son; and Clarissa Vaughan, a book editor in contemporary Greenwich Village who is planning a party for her ailing friend and poet Richard, who has just won a major literary prize. Cunningham does a wonderful job moving from one story to the other, having each build on and resonate with the others to achieve a very powerful novel. |
