Please join us as we read the first half of Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece, Mrs. Dalloway! Taking place on a single day in mid-June 1923, the book takes us in and out of the minds of our two main characters, society housewife Clarissa Dalloway (who is throwing a party), and World War One veteran Septimus Warren Smith (who is having some extremely concerning psychological issues), as well as basically everyone around them. It’s extremely good! Jackie regrets becoming a slug; Rachel tells a tale of betraying a dear friend at the club (or was it????); Bekah describes her ultimate dental destiny.
Topics include: Ernest Hemingway, Lord of the Rings, Sylvia Plath and her fig tree, slugging, skincare advice corner, dog psychologists, Tamagotchis, jelly sandals, Monkey Beach, the Big Bean, Belle & Sebastian, Malört, sippin’ on that thang, Mary Karr, catcalling, explicit undertones, That’s So Raven, gold-digging advice, Celine Dion, and riches to rags to riches/revenge.
