书籍介绍
这几乎不是一本好读的小说。一位读者断断续续读了半年才勉强读完,另一位承认“书的内容没大看懂”,还有人为封面买单、哭着也要翻完。可正是这种阅读中的磕绊与流失的耐心,恰恰指向了伍尔夫真正的野心:她要用一个活了三个世纪、从伊丽莎白时代宫廷一路活到1928年伦敦的男人,经历性别、年龄与身份的流转,来拆解我们习以为常的“自我”。奥兰多穿上裙子才真正成为“她”,这一笔让无数读者惊觉——性别或许并非天生,而是被衣物、姿态与社会期待层层穿戴出来的结果。它适合那些不满足于“读一个故事”、愿意被语言的轻盈与古怪反复撩拨的人;也适合对“人究竟由什么构成”这一追问感到好奇的读者。它不提供答案,只提供一种流动的、雌雄同体的观看方式。
作者简介
Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882. After her father's death in 1904 Virginia and her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, moved to Bloomsbury and became the center of ‘The Bloomsbury Group’. This informal collective of artists and writers exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture.
In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, a writer and social reformer. Three years later, her first novel The Voyage Out was published, followed by Night and Day (1919) and Jacob's Room (1922). Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs. Dalloway (1925) to The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism, and biography. On 28 March 1941, a few months before the publication of her final novel, Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf committed suicide.,
