Episode: 101 – [Review] To the Lighthouse

In this episode of Paperback Friends, I try to answer a question I've been asking myself ever since I finished the novel: why is this book considered such a fantastic novel?

Together we explore why To the Lighthouse became a cornerstone of modernist literature, and why Woolf's stream-of-consciousness style has inspired generations of writers.

We talk about modernism, narration, Virginia Woolf's craft, the passage of time, consciousness, and why I believe this is one of the hardest books I've ever attempted, not because it's unintelligent, but because it asks the reader to experience literature in a fundamentally different way.

I loved making this episode, and I hope you like listening to it.
