LA MARCA EN LA PARED

...Virginia Woolf liked to smoke cigars, play bowls, and type. She was a feminist and a pacifist, and once offered an honorary doctorate, she declined it with striking elegance. She compared the joy of writing, fueled by the enthusiasm of inspiration and the perseverance of work, to the roar of a Rolls Royce traveling at 100 kilometers per hour; to the force of an airplane's propellers.... Thus begins Antonio Muñoz Molina's prologue to this edition, which brings together a selection of Virginia Woolf's short stories spanning thirty-two years, from her earliest writings to those that would become her celebrated novel, Mrs. Dalloway. In these exquisite texts, characters and actions are subordinated to poetic imagery, far removed from the banalities of life.
