Not a fan of Virginia Woolf but this sounds interesting! Like Kings 'On writing', which I also haven't read, yet. No one is perfect, so I'm willing to see past her classism and/or racism. Unless you tell me she also ate babies, which is totally unacceptable, even for that period lol. Glad to see you still found the whole thing more than valuable though :). Honest review Jutta!
Thank you, Federico! 😊 King's On Writing is interesting, too, btw, but it was really annoying to see him telling people all the time what to do instead of just suggesting things. And no, no baby-eating, as far as I can tell. 😆 So I guess you can safely read VW's books. 😉
:)) I love Virginia Woolf and I hope her racism is not too blatant. I try to get over some issues if they were written some time ago. However, it is not always possible.

Hi Adina, this is exactly how I see it. As for the blatant racism -- I try to read her books with loving eyes, but it doesn't always work out for me, unfortunately.
