“Everybody gets told to write about what they know. The trouble with many of us is that at the earlier stages of life we think we know everything – or to put it more usefully, we are often unaware of the scope and structure of our ignorance. Ignorance is not just a blank space on a person’s mental map. It has contours and coherence, and for all I know rules of operation as well. So as a corollary to writing about what we know, maybe we should add getting familiar with our ignorance, and the possibilities therein for ruining a good story.”

Thomas Pynchon, Slow Learner

Mrs Dalloway employs what I love about 'outsider pov' as a technique for characterization (i.e. the illumination of one character by describing them through the eyes of a different character who does not know them), but elevated through kaleidascopic mastery to the thesis that we are all outsiders to each other
