Organized by the Cuban Book Institute (ICL) and published by the Arte y Literatura publishing house, the event gathers readers every Saturday on Calle de Madera, next to the Plaza de Armas (Parade Ground) in Old Havana, will take place at 11:00 hours (local time).

The volume, originally published in 1925, narrates a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, specifically the preparations for a party she is hosting that evening.

Through an unconventional narrative structure, with time jumps, flashbacks, interior monologues, and a masterful use of stream of consciousness, the novel unfolds a language rich in poetic imagery that delves into the emotional complexity of its protagonist, the ICL notes.

The text provides a critical examination of British society following World War I (1914–1918), revealing the tensions, wounds, and transformations that ensued.
