This is a banal piece, which only confirms my opinion of Cunningham.
I intensely disliked <i>The Hours</i> and was bewildered by its
popularity with critics and readers.<br>

That's indeed "more than enough out of [Cunningham]." Not worthy
of the Guardian either, I'd have thought. <br>

<div>From The Guardian Books Blog, July 16: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2013/jul/16/michael-cunningham-folio-joyce-woolf">http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2013/jul/16/michael-cunningham-folio-joyce-woolf</a></div>

<div>Forgetting the cliched gender analogy, this article isn't
doing Woolf or Joyce any favours. Cunningham seems overly
focused on personal traits which 1) he doesn't even support
and 2) he twists the meaning of to be sensational. What about
facilitating a discussion on the importance of these works,
instead of baseless (and ultimately uninteresting) claims
about their authors? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also: "Woolf, in To the Lighthouse, is Winnicott's
good-enough mother, the one who's able to love her children
while simultaneously urging them towards lives of their own,
beyond her reach or influence." Does Cunningham think Woolf
and Mrs Ramsay are the same? Certainly he knows that an
author, narrator, and character are all completely different
things? But then, what could he mean by this?</div>
