With a star-studded Nigerian adaptation of Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway on the horizon, Amile and Phoebe return to the novel's intimate world of parties, private thoughts and social performance.
Despite its famously demanding stream-of-consciousness style, the novel opens up a conversation about what it means to be considered by someone we love and the ways we protect ourselves and others from difficult truths.
From Clarissa's drawing room to the comment section, they consider how critique moves through society. They ask who gets to judge, who gets judged, and how quickly criticism can become cruelty. They ask what the general critique of Ariana Grande says about society.
