'[Orlando is] a brilliant book that teaches you so much about identity and love

all these fundamental questions that we ask ourselves.""

Emma Corrin

'I read Orlando and believed it was a hallucinogenic, interactive biography of my own life and future.'

Tilda Swinton

The graphic novel adaptation of Virginia Woolf's feminist classic, which tellsthe story of a passionate young nobleman traveling through timein the body of a woman.

Virginia Woolf's Orlando has long stood as a dazzling landmark in feminist and queer literature. In this vivid adaptation by Susanne Kuhlendahl, Woolf's fantastical biography comes to life anew: the tale of a passionate young nobleman who defies time and convention. Orlando begins his journey in the Elizabethan court and lives for over three centuries

transitioning along the way from a man into a woman, and from a restless youth into a self-assured figure of modernity. As eras shift and empires rise and fall, Orlando remains, navigating identity, desire, and the elusive nature of love.

Reviews for Orlando: A Graphic Novel Adaptation of Virginia Woolf's Queer Classic

“I read Orlando and believed it was a hallucinogenic, interactive biography of my own life and future.” – Tilda Swinton ""This layered, complex work created in beautiful conversation with the original text will appeal to readers interested in Woolf, surreal historical fiction, or classic feminism with a fantastical twist” – Booklist “Ultimately, Orlando is most free when toggling between genders—both how she presents and whom she loves. It’s a fittingly innovative and playful take on the original.“– Publishers Weekly  ""Rather than replacing the original, Kuhlendahl’s version is much more likely to motivate readers to take yet another turn through Woolf’s masterpiece."" – California Review of Books  “[Orlando is] a brilliant book that teaches you so much about identity and love—all these fundamental questions that we ask ourselves.” – Emma Corrin
