Save for the old use of the n-slur, I found exactly what I was looking for character and movement. In the past Woolf’s overly-descriptive nature would not catch my interest; however, reading for the goal of turning Orlando into a dance piece actually endowed every detail, color, symbol, and movement description with purpose and power. I am excited to explore the next creative process.

The racism on page one is hard to get past and confronting without prior knowledge of continued racial slurs. Woolf’s prose and lyrical style are beautiful and make for an interesting read as are the early thoughts on gender. One day, with this knowledge perhaps I’ll return and attempt to finish it. Or perhaps someone will rewrite a contemporary version as compelling as the queer film adaptation I enjoyed recently.
