The whole course of one’s life really can change in an
instant.Peter is forty-four, prosperous, the owner of a big New
York apartment, a player in the NY contemporary art dealing scene.
He has been married to Rebecca for close on twenty years. Their
marriage is sound, in the way marriages are. Peter might even
describe himself to be happy. But when Mizzy, Rebecca’s much
younger brother, comes to stay, his world is turned upside down.
Returning to their New York flat after work one day, Peter sees the
outline of Rebecca in the shower. But when he opens the shower
door, it is Mizzy he comes face to face with. From that moment on,
Mizzy occupies all of Peter’s thoughts. His fascination with him is
erotic but not exactly sexual. Without ever really falling out of
love with his wife, he tumbles into love with her brother, and is
encouraged that way by the young man.With traces of the tensions
that ripple through Death in Venice, this new novel from Michael
Cunningham brilliantly examines the quest for unattainable, and
temporal, beauty.
