Description
Orlando is a fantasy biography that defies convention with its impossible yet captivating narrative. Born as a young nobleman in 16th-century Europe, Orlando's life takes an extraordinary turn as it gallops through the centuries, transforming into a woman writer in Virginia Woolf's own time.
This playful and witty exploration of gender is both a commentary on societal norms and a 'writer's holiday' that revels in its ambiguity. Edited by Brenda Lyons with an Introduction and Notes by Sandra M. Gilbert, Orlando offers a unique reading experience that will appeal to those who enjoy literary fiction and experimental storytelling.
With its unique blend of wit, humor, and philosophical insight, Orlando is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to explore the complexities of identity and the human experience.
