Love your review, Alexa! If the idea of the subject and therefore the biography is patriarchal, then to turn that mode into a farce is a feminist intervention = )
"...Our hero-heroine, Orlando, seems not only to be a representation of the human spirit, a union of yin and yang in all its imperfect glory, but also a lasting testament to the perpetual flow of time. His-her pronouncements sound almost like a chorus of voices, echoing all the dichotomies that characterize our existence and the transience of our emotions..."
