Status Updates From Violet to Vita: the letters...

"I would like to tear you away from your Italy, give you a great slap across both cheeks and take you away with me on a delightful journey, far, quite far away from everything that has a narcotic effect on a nature which appears from your last letters to be half asleep."

I despise Mitchell's interjections in the text and his horrible, homophobic, condescending, and misogynistic perspective.The letters are wonderful and filled with artistry, but I won't be able to give this the rating it deserves due to the editor, whose comments are insufferable and whose bias pervades the introduction and perverts the text. If only the editor had been a woman, especially a feminist and/or lesbian!
