Hello y'all! I was surfing the net trying to find something interesting to share with you related to our current topic. I found this interview that Michael Cunningham gave to the British newspaper, The Guardian. In this interview we can see different aspects of Cunningham's life as a writer and as a person as well.
I liked the interview a lot because although he talks mostly about his new novel, By Nightfall, he usually goes back to his most important work, The Hours, which is our current book to be read. He also talks about his personal life so we get to know Cunningham in a different way, a more human way. He talks about his feelings when writing and after finishing a novel as well.
As we can read from the interview, he says "Like my hero Virginia Woolf, I do lack confidence. I always find that the novel I'm finishing, even if it's turned out fairly well, is not the novel I had in my mind. I think a lot of writers must negotiate this, and if they don't admit it, they're not being honest." He is always coming back to Virginia Woolf and The Hours. This way, we are taken to what interests all at this point of the semester.
I think that the interview will help us all to have a better understanding about Michael Cunningham and The Hours. I recommend y'all to read this interview and maybe some of you will be interested on reading Cummingham's new novel, By Nightfall!
Cheers!
