Michael Cunningham & Jenny Offill - Dalloway 100
Sat, Nov 8 at 11am
Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs Dalloway, set on a single day in the life of a woman preparing for a party in 1920s London, with a parallel storyline featuring an ex WW1 soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress, continues to stimulate creativity a century after its publication: inspiring books, films, a ballet and even an opera.
Michael Cunningham, author of Pulitzer Prize-winning The Hours and more recently Day (both influenced by Mrs. Dalloway) and Jenny Offill, author of Weather and Dept. of Speculation, who wrote an introduction to the Penguin Classic edition of Mrs. Dalloway, celebrate the novel’s legacy and discuss why it continues to attract devotees.
