To the Lighthouse

“I reread this book every once in a while, and every time I do I find it more capacious and startling. It’s so revolutionary and so exquisitely wrought that it keeps evolving on its own somehow, as if it’s alive.” —Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home

“A classic for a reason. My mind was warped into a new shape by her prose and it will never be the same again.” —Greta Gerwig, director of Lady Bird and Little Women

“To the Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time.” —Margaret Drabble, author of The Witch of Exmoor

“[Woolf’s] people are astoundingly real…The tragic futility, the absurdity, the pathetic beauty, of life–we experience all of this in our sharing of seven hours of Mrs. Ramsay’s wasted or not wasted existence. We have seen, through her, the world.” —Conrad Aiken, author of The Conversation
