Adaptations Book Club: Orlando/Freak Orlando

Why talk about one tale of gender fuckery when you could talk about two? We Luv’s literati settle in this hump day to chat Virginia Woolf’s original transition novel Orlando, where a young aristocrat travels through time and gender to fully discover themselves. Their screen companion comes from German filmmaker and proud lesbian Ulrike Ottinger, whose experimental five-episode film follows no linear structure but rather a series of vignettes all featuring that titular time-traveling bisexual. – James Scott
