”A fantasy, impossible but delicious … an exuberance of life and wit” The Times Literary Supplement
First masculine, then feminine, Orlando begins life as a young sixteenth-century nobleman, then gallops through the centuries to end up as a woman writer in Virginia Woolf”s own time. Written for the charismatic, bisexual writer Vita Sackville-West, this playful mock biography of a chameleon-like historical figure is both a wry commentary on gender and, in Woolf”s own words, a ”writer”s holiday” which delights in its ambiguity and capriciousness.
