![]() ![]() ![]() Woolf does introduce some structure to the flow of the six character narratives. This is a whole different kind of "beach reading." As a result, it's sometimes a bit hard to tell what's going on, where characters are, or when events happen.īut hey, duders, you're reading Virginia Woolf's The Waves. It uses stream-of-consciousness (what an appropriately liquid-named narrative style, eh?) that focuses more on the characters' inner lives than what happens in the big wide world. The novel follows the lives of six narrators and their friend, Percival, exploring their relationships and personal development from youth to adulthood. Woolf doesn't exactly trade in traditional narratives or style, and The Waves is the most experimental of her works: we hope you're ready to jump into the deep end. Okay, that's not exactly true, but Virginia Woolf's 1931 novel The Waves is heavy on water imagery and light on the kind of plot and action you typically see in a novel. Water, water everywhere and not a plot to drink. ![]()
