Description
Theory & Practice by Michelle de Kretser is a thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of love, art, and desire. Set in 1986, the story follows a young woman from Sri Lanka as she navigates her graduate studies in Melbourne, researching the novels of Virginia Woolf. Her life becomes entangled with a charismatic figure, Kit, who claims to be in a "deconstructed relationship." As their relationship deepens, the narrator's feminism clashes with her jealousy, while an entry in Woolf's diary upends her understanding of her literary idol. This spellbinding meditation on the moral complexities that arise in the gap between our values and our lives is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the human condition.
