Taylor Mac’s obsession with Herman Melville’s gay love affair & time-traveling with Virginia Woolf
Orlando: A Biography by Sarah Ruhl puts Mac at the center of a century-spanning tale of love, desire, and discovery. Upon the novel’s 90th anniversary in 2018, journalist Joanna Scutts described the author as making “a joyful case for the transgression of all limits on desire, curiosity, and knowledge.” Woolf’s book was, in many ways, a love letter to Vita Sackville-West, with whom she had an affair.
