A Bridge of Ideas
Despite their seemingly disparate natures, both Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' and Olga Ravn's 'The Employees' offer a profound exploration of consciousness and perception, not through grand narratives, but through the intimate, often fragmented, inner lives of their characters. You might have rated these books highly, even without noting it specifically, because both employ a deeply interior, experimental narrative style to dissect the very *nature of being* and how we perceive reality, revealing a shared human quest for meaning amidst subjective experience.
