Episode: 101 – [Review] To the Lighthouse7 Aug21 min

<p>In this episode of Paperback Friends, I try to answer a question I&#39;ve been asking myself ever since I finished the novel: why is this book considered such a fantastic novel?</p><p><br></p><p>Together we explore why To the Lighthouse became a cornerstone of modernist literature, and why Woolf&#39;s stream-of-consciousness style has inspired generations of writers.</p><p><br></p><p>We talk about modernism, narration, Virginia Woolf&#39;s craft, the passage of time, consciousness, and why I believe this is one of the hardest books I&#39;ve ever attempted, not because it&#39;s unintelligent, but because it asks the reader to experience literature in a fundamentally different way.</p><p><br></p><p>I loved making this episode, and I hope you like listening to it.</p><p><br></p><p>Type: <strong>Review</strong> | Book: <strong>To the Lighthouse</strong> | Writer: <strong>Virginia Woolf</strong></p>
