The Waves
The most radically original book from one of the modernist movement’s greatest writers.
The Waves follows the lives of seven people from childhood to adulthood, exploring questions of self, of consciousness, and of masculinity and femininity. It is exclusively told through long soliloquies by six of the characters, an entirely original approach to narrative that highlights Virginia Woolf’s bottomless innovative capacity.
