Counterpoint: The the Lighthouse is one of the best novels I've read. Orlando 's also beautiful. Though I've not read A Room of One's Own. Perhaps it's terrible. (goes away for a moment) Read the first couple pages—not obviously bad yet, anyway. Even manages, so early, to build tension and expectation effectively, which is key in a good essay and pretty hard to do as well as this does. Does it get a lot worse further in?
