Wednesday, August 8, 3:30 pm in the Senior Lounge Discussion of Mrs. Dalloway and selection of books for 2008.

In Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf reveals one day in the life of London socialite Clarissa Dalloway and shell-shocked war veteran Septimus Smith. Clarissa and Septimus never meet, but they face the same internal struggles against domination — Smith through the haze of insanity, and Dalloway through the eyes of sanity. In Mrs. Dalloway, Woolf reveals the complex conflict between past decisions, present outlook, personal desire, and the demands of society. A synopsis of the book and discussion questions are in the Senior Lounge
