( ) This is an interesting, but I feel fundamentally flawed collection of short fiction by Virginia Woolf. As explained in the preface, many of her shorter works were experiments and exercises in technique, form, and composition that she would use namely to exert her skills in her novels. They feel a little unrefined and many, in my opinion, do not stand very tall or serve as great pieces in themselves. That is why I have given the collection this rating. 2.5 stars. Does what it says on the package: this is all the shorter prose Virginia Woolf wrote, in a straight chronological order. Such a broad and unedited spread is of course an uneven read – these stories were never meant to be read back to back in this order. And there are indeed both ups and downs here. I like the ones that have that Woolf feel, like the stories that take place at Clarissa Dalloway’s party, but find it interesting that I’m more drawn to the earliest stories, or the late ones Woolf dismissed as “bread writing for the American audience”. Those are straighter, more of stories and less of tableaus or streams of consciousness. There are some real gems in here, for sure, but for me too many of these stories are slippery, vague and hard to focus on. Quite a few I wouldn’t be able to give a summary of ten minutes after I finished them, even if someone held a gun to my head. This is a Woolf book for real fans and completists. If you’re only going to read three books by Virginia Woolf (which you should), this probably isn’t one of them. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
