Synopsis

Whatever hour you woke there was a door shunting. From room to room they went, hand in hand, lifting here, opening there, making sure - a ghostly couple. 'Here we left it," she said. And he added, 'Oh, but here too!" 'It's upstairs," she murmured. 'And in the garden," he whispered 'Quietly," they said, 'or we shall wake them." But it wasn't that you woke us. Oh, no. 'They're looking for it; they're drawing the curtain," one might say, and so read on a page or two. 'Now they've found it," one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm. 'What did I come in here for? What did I want to find?" My hands were empty. 'Perhaps it's upstairs then?" The apples were in the loft. And so down again, the garden still as ever, only the book had slipped into the grass.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'In her writing career, Virginia Woolf developed a startling, original style that chases thought and fires the moment; she makes old hurts new and freshens the dim ideas of modern life. This style bloomed in experimental novels like Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves, but prior to writing those books, Woolf created a number of short fictions, exquisite pieces in which the seeds of her new approach quickened into life. In miniature, they display all the intensity and fleetness of Woolf s greatest works. She gathered and printed these stories in Monday or Tuesday, the only collection to be published in her lifetime. Hesperus Press, in its excellent and intriguing line of short works by major authors, has recreate Monday or Tuesday as a slim volume that tempts one to carry it always, like a talisman of greatness. Monday or Tuesday richly conveys Woolf s generous experiments in writing. And though it be but little, it is fierce.' --watermarkbooks.com
