Virginia Woolf’s third novel, marks her first foray into Modernist experimentation. The narrative traces Jacob’s childhood in Cornwall and his education at Cambridge, culminating in an evocative portrait of his adult life in London and abroad. Jacob is romantically torn between the artistic Florinda, the upper-middle-class Clara Durrant and the beautiful, but married, Sandra Wentworth Williams. This tissue of romance, though, is torn apart by the cataclysmic events of the First World War. Woolf poignantly depicts the life of Jacob through a sequence of alternating perspectives that combine letters, fragments of dialogue and the ephemeral impressions of those nearest to him. Jacob’s voice becomes the absent centre of one of Modernism’s first great novels.… (meer)

Not reviewed. Not well remembered. ( )

Jacob's Room is a novel with almost no plot. It's pretty much Jacob thinking about how boring his life is. Now I'm sure it is in fact possible to write an interesting novel about a man who bored with his life. But unfortunately that's not the case here. This is pretty much nothing but a boring novel about a bored man. ( )

This was a tough one. I think I liked it overall, but it was a chore to get through. Kinda feels like gas station Mrs. Dalloway. ( )

Interesting book. Easily not a book that will be boring the second or third time through. ( )

Virginia Woolf is definitely not my favourite author. This again was a book that was not easy to digest. Not that all books I read need to be easy digestable, but she has a manner of writing that I can't get used to.

It was much better (for me than Orland or The Waves, but I didn't like it as much as The Years or Night and Day. ( )

[...] this is one of the most arrogant books that has been written lately. Never was anything more unkindly, unsentimental, ungenial. [...]

Yet Mrs Woolf is a considerable writer, and plays tricks with a fine literary sense. Doubtless she is something of a cult, and in certain passages you might believe that she is making fun of the devotees. Her book is a sort of phantasmagoria; sometimes it seems that madness lies this way. Perhaps there are analogies in painting. Some things are said laboriously, some brilliantly and finely, [...]
