Paperback. Zustand: Fair. "Come, come! I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another." As this centuries-spanning tale begins, Orlando is a passionate sixteen-year-old nobleman whose days are spent in rowdy revelry, filled with the colorful delights of Queen Elizabeth I's court. By the close, three centuries have passed, and he will have transformed into a thirty-six-year-old woman in the year 1928. Orlando's journey is also an internal one--he is an impulsive poet who learns patience in matters of the heart, and a woman who knows what it is to be a man. Virginia Woolf's most unusual creation, this classic of feminist literature is a fantastical mock biography--a funny, exuberant romp through history that examines the true nature of love and gender identity.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. A Harvest Book - HB 266, later printing. 333pp w/8 pages of illustrations. Bright, clean & tight copy, an older paperback, unread, in Near Fine condition w/very slight page aging, uniform & unmarked. "In her most exuberant, most fanciful novel, Virginia Woolf has created a character liberated from the restraints of time and sex. Born in the Elizabethan age to wealth and position, Orlando is a lusty young nobleman at the beginning of the story and three centuries later a modern woman. The hero-heroine sees monarchs come and go, hobnobs with the great literary figures of every age, and slips in and out of each new fashion. In the Victorian Age she dutifully puts on layers of petticoats, marries, and bears a child. In the twentieth century she drives a motor car and publishes a poem she has been writing since youth. The author leaves her at 'the present moment.' She is thirty-six. [] A brilliantly imagined pageant of English history, society, and literature, ORLANDO is also a witty, feminist reappraisal of the nature of the sexes." [publisher copy] ". . . a prose so swift and sparkling that it leaves us almost breathless and sated with good things. Never, perhaps, has Mrs. Woolf written with more verve: certainly she has never imagined more boldly."--The Times Literary Supplement. "As a work of political satire and feminist fantasy, ORLANDO laid the groundwork for today's cultural landscape, in which the boundaries of both gender and literary genre are more porous than ever. . . If published today, ORLANDO might have been misshelved not as biography but as fantasy or science fiction--genres in which women writers in recent years have increasingly found the space to challenge the straight-white-male strictures of both realist fiction and reality itself. ORLANDO's blend of social critique and bold fantasy echoes in the postwar fiction of Ursula Le Guin and Angela Carter, and more recently in the fairy-tale retellings of Helen Oyeyemi and Daniel Mallory Ortberg--as well as in novels like Melissa Broder's The Pisces."--Vulture, 'ORLANDO is the Virginia Woolf Novel We Need Right Now.' "Her great gifts of language and intuition are joined in this book with a deep-lying sense of humor, and a wit that plays like summer lightning."--The Atlantic. ". . . the longest and most charming love letter in literature. . ."--Nigel Nicolson. NF 1973 trade paperback edition w/orange cover (illustration by Loretta Trezzo of two Orlandos), brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine (tho slight fading). Quite presentable for a 53-year-old book. Cover design by Loretta Trezzo (illustrator).…
