«Igual que James Joyce y Marcel Proust dominó el manejo del flujo de conciencia de los personajes, pero ella añade un valor extra, la sensibilidad femenina.»

80 ANIVERSARIO DE VIRGINIA WOOLF
Virginia Woolf siempre se sintió atraída por la idea del party, ese encuentro social donde se muestra la vulnerabilidad de hombres y mujeres que entre copa y copa dejan de ser quienes son para representar el papel que más conviene a la ocasión. Buena muestra de su interés es La señora Dalloway, una novela que se mueve al compás de la fiesta que está organizando una dama de la alta sociedad londinense.
Los siete relatos que componen La fiesta de la señora Dalloway son el complemento ideal de la novela, pues Viginia Woolf los escribió en el período comprendido entre 1922 y 1927, así que de alguna manera estos textos rodean y acompañan a La señora Dalloway, que se publicó en 1925.

VIRGINIA WOOLF’S 80th ANNIVERSARY
Virginia Woolf was always attracted to the idea of a party, that social gathering where the vulnerability of men and women is exposed, where people stop being who they are between drinks, and play the most suited role for the occasion. A good display of her interest is Mrs. Dalloway, a novel moving to the rhythm of a party organized by a London high society lady.
The seven stories that comprise Mrs. Dalloway’s Party are the ideal complement for the novel, since Virginia Woolf wrote them between 1922 and 1927, in a way encircling Mrs. Dalloway, published in 1925.
“The idea of a party excited her, and in practice she was very sensitive to the exaltation of the senses, to the fermentation and the noise involved in social gatherings,” commented Leonard Woolf about his wife. And this volume pretends to be a homage to the great writer: even if she cannot be there, the party, her party, carries on...
