Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse, part 1: Skill issue
Update: 2024-04-08
Description
A fragmented jumble of multiple shifting perspectives, punctuated by abrupt jumps between topics and timelines, infused with the frustration of trying to express intensely-felt experiences within the bounds of mere words.
(oh and we also talked about a Virginia Woolf book)
