not having read anything by woolf before, this really posed a bigger challenge to me than i ever expected. I've never read anything like this before, and reading this for the first time, I found myself at times forgetting to concentrate or, then again, trying too hard to "make sense" of the prose or narrativize it. I will absolutely return to this work one day, hopefully soon, because what I got out of it, in parts and fragments this time already was really special.
