…took me almost allllll of October to read! I think it was because the events weren’t really strongly marked due to it being set within a single day, being written without chapters, and being delivered through a stream of consciousness narrative.
But with the difficulty of picking it back up and trying to regain my bearings overcome, I really enjoyed it. The repeated phrases in this book were a particular touch that I liked, subtle enough to keep drawing you back in and tightening the web across London that Woolf creates. There is definitely also something to be learned from how seamlessly Woolf flits from character to character. Not much affected by the subject matter, but overall I liked the style and thought it was very well-written.
Next in line (as soon as Amazon deliver it) is Roth’s The Dying Animal, for my prose fiction class. Heard good things and bad things, but we’ll see!
