At the beginning of the 20th century, English-language literature made a watershed in written art. With authors such as James Joyce, William Faulkner, T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf, narrative forms became more complex.
In the case of Virginia Woolf, her novel The Waves of Her takes to the extreme one of the narrative techniques most experienced by English modernists: the interior monologue. With six streams of consciousness, the London author drowns us in the thoughts of her characters.
The mastery with which Woolf makes her thoughts flow, she reinvents new ways of narrating. It is not only dislocated thought, as it happens in the novel, but also the punctual and artistic treatment in which we enter the sea.
The Waves is a capital book to understand and comprehend Virginia Woolf's brilliant art of writing, as well as her complex thought.
