Abstract

The article examines Michael Cunningham's "The Hours" and Sahar Al-Mouji's "The Musk of the Hill" as time-oriented novels within feminist queer writing. Topics include the nature of time addressed in the two novels, Cunningham's remaking of the characters and themes from Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway" in "The Hours," comments on the fluid style of the two novels, an examination of sexual identity or partner choice in "The Hours," and the postfeminist inclination investigated in the novels.
