The Waves - Virginia Woolf
#this is so Gertrude stein in energy also
#once again the waves is about writing the waves
#without context this may not be obvious but if you can’t tell Neville is speaking about the ‘poetry’ of sitting in a public place and
#listening to all the conversations happening around him
#which is very thematically relevant (and resonates purposefully with the reader of the waves) as the book is about reading a series of
#highly poetic and occasionally borderline nonsensical soliloquies from six speakers
#so like Neville sitting and listening in and creating poetry directly mirrors the reader sitting in the midst of the poetry of the books
#speakers but also Virginia Woolf is pretty clearly directly communicating what this book is meant to emulate in part in case the reader
#hasn’t caught on yet. but it also resonates with the general experience of reading modernist & experimental (and now postmodern) work and
#the choice one must make to either reject in out of fear of difference or embrace the beauty of it
#so just a bit a literary analysis for you all this Friday afternoon
