Look, this is supplement finally got me to read Virginia Woolf's The Waves. Not on it's own, but it was the last push I deeded. I'd tried, up until this year, to read the novel in it's original English, and failed. My command of the language is good, but somehow Woolf in particular keeps kicking my ass.
A good friend started reading translations of some of Woolf's novels in 2023. She couldn't have recommended it more whole-heatedly. The level of enjoyment and understanding she experienced was worth every little loss that might occur in translation—if there even was much of a loss.
I'd been thinking about leaving part of my snobbery in 2024 and after reading this supplement, I did. And while I'm happy to have read the novel, reading it after becoming familiar with Good Society and it's gamification of literary storytelling was even more fulfilling. It opened up a new perspective on the stories a game could tell, and how.
Such a fun supplement for GS! It's been the perfect setting for yearning, sadness, and drama!
