More Woolf?

[CallMeLeo]

Ilana, what are the chances of you moderating more of Woolf's works. I, personally, am interested in Mrs. Dalloway, but would welcome any of her others. Or was Mrs. D done recently and I missed it?

I would love, love that. Next month, I'm moderating a discussion on Willa Cather's My Antonia. I would love to do another Woolf after that, and think Mrs. Dalloway is a terrific idea. I'll run it by people here.
In August, I've got a book on Woolf, A Life of One's Own: A Guide to Better Living through the Work and Wisdom of Virginia Woolf coming out. I'd love to talk about some ideas in there--namely, that some writers like Woolf (and Austen and Bronte...) offer not just art, but wisdom about our actual, daily lives, about morality, friendships, marriages, ambition.
Do these authors ever sit on your shoulder and offer something practical for ordinary life?

Ilana, your book sounds great. This was my first Woolf, but Bronte and particularly Austen are favorites of mine. I would love to do some more Woolf in the future. In Francine Prose's book Reading Like A Writer she suggests reading Woolf's On Being Ill. I wondered what you thought of this piece (it's an essay I think).

More Woolf is OK with me
