Description
Orlando awakens transformed - transported into the eighteenth century, and the body of a woman. This is a story of radical possibilities: boy and girl, past and future, nature and magic, life and history, love and literature. A young man in the court of an ageing queen seems to belong everywhere and nowhere. One morning, Orlando's world is turned upside down as he navigates his new identity. A thrilling love letter that trespasses over the borders of place, time and self, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in queer identity and its possibilities. Published in 2018, Canongate Books brings this twentieth century defining work to readers today.
