Description: "Robin Lippincott's novella Mr. Dalloway offers a rich augmentation of Virginia Woolf's classic novel."--BOOK JACKET.

"The day is June 28, 1927 - Richard and Clarissa Dalloway's thirtieth anniversary, and also a day of particular historical significance. Richard has arranged a surprise party for his wife. As he leaves their house in Westminster to buy flowers for the party; his thoughts turn to Robert Davies (Robbie), a young editor at Faber with whom he has been having an affair off and on for many years.

Because of Richard's efforts to stifle their relationship, Robbie has exposed their love affair in a letter to Clarissa, who tells her husband that she "understands." And today Richard, despite his misgivings, finds himself on his way to Robbie's house - only to be shaken by the discovery that Robbie is not there."--BOOK JACKET.
