woodpusher's review against another edition

5.0

Una experiencia única. La disfruté incluso más que La señora Dalloway. Cuestión de gustos quizás. Los paralelismos entre la pintura y la literatura, los análisis de roles de género y aún las alusiones autobiográficas son de una gran riqueza intelectual y poética. Me apunto para seguir con Orlando y Las olas ( trás un tiempo de descanso ya que no es lectura ligera sobretodo en su idioma original).

I have no idea what this book what about. No idea whatsoever. I finished it and I still don’t understand.

I read this as part of an unexpected aquatic phase last week, featuring Rheinzand's new album Atlantis Atlantis and a TV documentary on the Danube system. To The Lighthouse also prompted me to google if Woolf was a stoner or not because, not gonna lie, her writing is wild.

Also, spoilers: they don't reach the lighthouse. In a trademark Woolf-ian grand sweep of action, a giant hurricane combines with Cthulu, Lord of the Deep to send her silly little characters to their deaths.
