How do you narrate life? In this vivid portrait of a summer day in the life of a London woman, Clarissa Dalloway's preparations for an evening party initiate a unique stream of thoughts and memories. Accompanied by the chimes of Westminster's Big Ben, the interference of inner and outer voices allows us to experience the world of Clarissa in its rich plurality. Poetic, full of irony and audacity, Virginia Woolf explains how our memories and surroundings affect our reality and thus turns the conventional novel of her time upside down.
Including an undiscovered foreword by Virginia Woolf.
