There is a film version of the play, although I really don't recommend it as it takes some liberties with the text that I don't particularly see as justified. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10686053 Nausea (New Directions Paperbook) by Jean-Paul Sartre

]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/100248-to-the-lighthouse Anna made a comment in the The Virginia Woolf Reading Group group:

That's a great question! I think people have been asking the same question since 1927 when it was written. I think the key to stream-of-consciousness writing is remembering (especially in the case of "To the Lighthouse") is that perspective shifts (it seems) with each section. That is, we're not getting just one person's viewpoint, but rather that of whoever is the center of that section of the narration. My only advice would be to pay attention to the breaks between sections, take a pause, read the first few sentences of the next section, and then determine who's speaking. Once you've gained a sense of the way this kaleidoscopic vision works, it should be much easier to delve into the work.

The other thing is: Modernist writing is almost *never* about PLOT. It's about motivation, psychology, character. It's fun to try and figure out which characters the author is sympathetic to, and which the author seems to begrudge their existence!
