Virginia Woolf called George Eliot's novel, Middlemarch “one of the few English books written for grownups.” It's a book full of characters asking: is it a good thing to live a life of duty, or is it ridiculous? Even after 150 years since the book was published, it provides up-to-date lessons in how to live a modern life. *This is part one or two-part series. It originally aired on April 6, 2022.

It's October, the perfect month to celebrate the master of mystery and the macabre. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Richard Kopley about his book Edgar Allan Poe: A Life, a comprehensive critical biography that combines a narrative of Poe's enduring challenges (including his difficult foster father, poverty, alcoholism, depression, and his numerous personal losses) with close readings of his works. PLUS we look at Virginia Woolf's view of what made Jane Austen so great even at the age of 15, and Christopher Herbert (Jane Austen's Favourite Brother, Henry) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.

In this episode, Jacke talks to author David Denby about his new book, Eminent Jews: Bernstein, Brooks, Friedan, Mailer, a group biography (loosely inspired by Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians) that describes how four larger-than-life figures upended the restrained culture of their forebears and changed American life.

Ellen Deckwitz gaat met Esther Scheldwacht in gesprek.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the dance which, from when it reached Britain in the early nineteenth century, revolutionised the relationship between music, literature and people here for the next hundred years. While it may seem formal now, it was the informality and daring that drove its popularity, with couples holding each other as they spun round a room to new lighter music popularised by Johann Strauss, father and son, such as The Blue Danube. Soon the Waltz expanded the creative world in poetry, ballet, novellas and music, from the Ballets Russes of Diaghilev to Moon River and Are You Lonesome Tonight.

A remarkable literary discovery has thrilled readers of the late, great British writer Virginia Woolf. More than 80 years after her death, a new book has been published this week. It's a collection of three comic stories written eight years before her first novel appeared. Malcolm Brabant reports from England for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.

In 1907, eight years before she published her first novel, a twenty-five-year-old Virginia Woolf drafted three interconnected comic stories chronicling the adventures of a giantess named Violet—a teasing tribute to Woolf's friend Mary Violet Dickinson. But it was only in 2022 that Woolf scholar Urmila Seshagiri discovered a final, revised typescript of the stories. The typescript revealed that Woolf had finished this mock-biography, making it her first fully realized literary experiment and a work that anticipates her later masterpieces. Published here for the first time in its final form, The Life of Violet blends fantasy, fairy tale, and satire as it transports readers into a magical world where the heroine triumphs over sea-monsters as well as stifling social traditions.In these irresistible and riotously plotted stories, Violet, who has powers “as marvelous as her height,” gleefully flouts aristocratic proprieties, finds joy in building “a cottage of one's own,” and travels to Japan to help create a radical new social order. Amid flights of fancy such as a snowfall of sugared almonds and bathtubs made of painted ostrich eggs, The Life of Violet upends the marriage plot, rejects the Victorian belief that women must choose between virtue and ambition, and celebrates women's friendships and laughter.A major literary discovery that heralds Woolf's ambitions to revolutionize fiction and sheds new light on her great themes, The Life of Violet: Three Early Stories (Princeton UP, 2025) is first and foremost a delight to read. This volume features a preface, afterword, notes, and photographs that provide rich historical, literary, and biographical context. Urmila Seshagiri is Distinguished Professor of Humanities and Professor of English at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She is the author of Race and the Modernist Imagination, the editor of the Oxford World's Classics edition of Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room, and a contributor to the Los Angeles Review of Books. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Être critique, écrire sur les actrices Elle a détesté Barbie de Greta Gerwig pour son « fétichisme de la marchandise gonflé aux dimensions d'un blockbuster estival », son « auteurisme définitivement dévoré par l'hégémonie des franchises, l'ironie permanente et la postmodernité comme impasses narratives » ou « et c'est sans doute le plus pénible », écrivit-elle dans Le Monde, « la défense d'un féminisme néolibéral infantilisant devenu la façade respectable d'un capitalisme décomplexé ».Pour Murielle Joudet, un·e critique doit être « une sorte d'enfant obèse et ingrat, comme les post-humains imaginés par le studio Pixar dans Wall-E. Il ou elle ne doit rien à personne, parce qu'il ou elle n'a rien à revendiquer, rien à vendre et que personne ne l'aime. J'ai vu des critiques arrondir les angles d'une interview, couper ce qui pouvait être (un peu) choquant et ça m'a servi de leçon. J'écris des livres pour parler en mon nom, pour y aller à fond. »Après 21 pages sur Coppola en 2016 (dans un bouquin où elle était la seule femme parmi neuf auteurs), et entre les dizaines d'articles du monumental Hitchcock la totale en 2019 (co-signé avec trois complices de la Cinémathèque française), Murielle Joudet se donne enfin le premier rôle via deux ouvrages consacrés à deux actrices majuscules. D'abord Isabelle Huppert, avec Vivre ne nous regarde pas en 2018, puis Gena Rowlands en 2021, avec On aurait dû dormir, récompensé par le Centre National de la Cinématographie.Ce deuxième épisode dissèque ce remarquable diptyque contre l'ennui, pensé pour honorer des performances qui « tournent autour de la folie en s'aventurant très loin dans l'idée de se rendre incompréhensibles ». En montrant par exemple comment Gena Rowlands, égérie du cinéma de son compagnon John Cassavetes, parvient à traduire physiquement le « flux de conscience » cher à Virginia Woolf. « Son corps s'infléchit à la moindre pensée : elle ne ravale aucun état d'âme, les laisse infuser, fait du montage d'humeurs à même son corps, traversée par une violence inouïe. On peut avoir des éclats dépressifs ou des élans d'euphorie, dissimulés en général sous un masque de neutralité. Son masque glisse tout le temps. » Bas les masques, tout pour la plume.L'autrice du mois : Murielle JoudetNée en 1991 à Paris, Murielle Joudet est critique de cinéma dans la presse (Le Monde), à la radio (sur France Inter pour Le masque et la plume), en ligne (dans le podcast Sortie de secours ou via l'émission Dans le film sur le site Hors-Série) ou pour la Cinémathèque française. Elle a publié quatre ouvrages qui documentent avec rigueur des façons de défier les conventions, en tant que femme, dans l'industrie du 7e art : Isabelle Huppert – vivre ne nous regarde pas (Capricci, 2018), Gena Rowlands – on aurait dû dormir (Capricci, 2021), La seconde femme – ce que les actrices font à la vieillesse (Premier Parallèle, 2022) et un recueil d'entretiens avec la cinéaste Catherine Breillat, Je ne crois qu'en moi (Capricci, 2023).

Emily Brontë only published one full-length book before dying at the tragically young age of 30. But that book, Wuthering Heights, which tells the story of obsessive and vengeful love on the rugged moors of Yorkshire, is still considered one of the pinnacles of English literature, landing at #15 on the list of Greatest Books of All Time. In this episode, Jacke takes a deep look into Emily Brontë's classic "bad boy" novel, with assistance from Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Hardwick, Joyce Carol Oates, Anne Tyler, Alice Hoffman, Charlotte Brontë, and others.

It's officially one month to go until the publication of How to Live an Artful Life, my new book that features a quote by an artist or writer for everyday of the year: https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-live-an-artful-life/katy-hessel/9781529155204 To celebrate, I wanted to share a teaser of the audiobook with an extract from the month of October, featuring its introduction and the first six days, so you can get a feel for the book. Each month is based around a theme. For example, January is about seeking out ideas, February is about love, and September focuses on time. October's is transformation and features thoughts, reflections, creative exercises and daily routines from the likes of Virginia Woolf, Barbara Hepworth, Rose Wylie, Joan Mitchell, Marina Abramović, Zanele Muholi, Cindy Sherman, to name a few…

Mercedes Bryce Morgan unpacks the whirlwind making of Bone Lake, an 18-day Atlanta shoot that battled storms, injuries, and lost gear before completing its night-boat climax on a Los Angeles soundstage. After a Fantastic Fest premiere and Deadline-breaking international sales, the erotic survival thriller heads to U.S. theaters with buzzy audience reactions and a proudly “fun, commercial, popcorn” spirit.Mercedes traces her path from mini DV Star Wars shorts and USC to festival features, describing her taste as a mix of Oldboy's devastation and Amélie's heart. Other past influences include Barbarians, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The House of Yes, Funny Games, and The One I Love. Her TIFF-premiering Fixation (2022) sparked her love for erotic thrillers.On craft, she argues the best twists are guessable seconds before they land, and test screenings help her fine-tune which parts of the mystery viewers might sense without solving it too soon. Her advice to young filmmakers: embrace constraints as boot camp, stick with collaborators who love the work, design for the audience experience, and make sure you enjoy the day-to-day… because the process is the life.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Vor 100 Jahren veröffentlichte Virginia Woolf ihren Roman „Orlando“. Die Geschichte eines Menschen, der als Mann geboren wird und als Frau weiterlebt. Heute gilt das Buch als Meilenstein in feministischer und LGBTQ+-Literatur. Illustratorin Susanne Kuhlendahl hat daraus eine Graphic Novel gemacht: „Das ist so eine leichte Geschichte, die doch ernste Themen wie Rollenklischees und Frauenrechte behandelt. Das hat mich sofort fasziniert.“ Ein queerer Klassiker, jetzt in Bildern Orlando, zugleich Mann und Frau, reist durch Jahrhunderte und Identitäten, ein Stoff, der sich in Zeiten von Genderdebatten besonders aktuell liest. „Virginia Woolf erklärt das gar nicht groß. Es passiert einfach und es ist in Ordnung so“, sagt Kuhlendahl. Für sie lag die Herausforderung darin, Orlando nicht in Stereotype zu pressen. Inspiration bot das markante Gesicht von Woolfs Geliebter Vita Sackville-West, das sie auch ihrer Figur gab. Humor statt Schwere Woolfs Texte gelten oft als komplex, doch Kuhlendahl betont den leichten Ton: „Es ist die feine Ironie, die begeistert, auch wenn es um Vorurteile geht.“ Ihre Graphic Novel macht diesen Humor sichtbar und sie versucht damit, neue Zugänge zu schaffen.

Autrice féministe et professionnelle du marketing, Solène Cornec explore le lien intime entre maternité et création. Comment le corps, l'imaginaire et l'écriture se transforment-ils quand on devient mère ? Un échange sensible sur la santé des femmes, la liberté et la transmission.Dans cet épisode de Cheminements, nous accueillons Solène Cornec, autrice engagée de Destin de sorcières, un livre qui redonne voix à quinze femmes accusées de sorcellerie entre le XIVᵉ et le XVIIIᵉ siècle, avec des illustrations d'Aline Bureau.Depuis son appartement parisien, Solène mène une double vie : experte marketing le jour, écrivaine la nuit. Nous parlons d'un autre bouleversement fondateur : la maternité. Une expérience ni évidente ni obligatoire, mais qui, quand elle survient, transforme profondément le corps, la santé des femmes, l'identité, la création et notre manière d'habiter le monde.À travers son vécu, Solène interroge : comment on devient mère, comment on reste autrice, et comment on vit les deux — parfois en fusion, parfois en tension. L'épisode convoque des voix phares de la pensée féministe :Adrienne Rich (Of Woman Born / De l'Institution à l'Expérience) : « La naissance d'un enfant, loin d'être la fin d'un processus créatif, en est le commencement. »Rachel Cusk (Un travail à plein temps / A Life's Work) : « La maternité n'est pas une condition qu'on apprend. C'est quelque chose qu'on devient. »Nancy Huston : « Accoucher d'un enfant et accoucher d'un livre, c'est aussi douloureux et jouissif l'un que l'autre. »On parle de représentations et de peurs avant la grossesse, de ce que la gestation et l'accouchement traversent dans le corps et l'esprit, de l'écriture pendant la grossesse, de l'urgence créative après la naissance, de l'équilibre (ou déséquilibre) entre vie littéraire et vie familiale, d'une chambre à soi (coucou Virginia Woolf), de pression sociale, de solitude, mais aussi de puissance et de transmission.Enfin, nous questionnons l'impact de la maternité sur Destin de sorcières : sans cette expérience, le livre aurait-il été le même ? Ce regard transforme-t-il la façon dont Solène lit la solitude, la liberté et la puissance des femmes qu'elle raconte ?Lien du livre de Solène : https://www.editionsmilan.com/livres/79441-destins-de-sorcieres-15-femmes-15-esprits-libres-15-vies-meurtries/

El narrador es uno de los elementos más importantes de un texto narrativo, pero a pesar de su importancia muchas veces la atención que se le presta no va más allá de decidir si usaremos una primera o una tercera persona. De esa falta de atención a la voz que narra nacen errores como el del que hoy te quiero hablar.Repasemos en qué consiste ese filtro del narrador y repasemos algunas formas de acabar con él para que tu narración gane en elocuencia y sea más capaz de sumergir al lector en la historia. Lo haremos con algunos ejemplos, incluido uno tomado de La señora Dalloway, de Virginia Woolf. ¿Listo? Pues empezamos.-----Si te ha gustado este contenido, recuerda puntuarnos con 5 estrellas, comentar y compartir el episodio; así nos ayudarás a llegar a más escritores y conseguir crear una gran comunidad.-----✉️ Todas las semanas publicamos nuevos artículos en exclusiva solo para nuestros suscriptores.

Our experience of time is not what it seems. We perceive time as linear; from beginning to end. This is not actually what's happening. It's a series of moments strung together like pearls, each existing eternally. We are starting to notice that each time we gather to bring in famous dead people, it's all about a specific subject, not really about the people we bring in. The subject, in this case "Time" aligns with the dead ones who come in and they spend the time they have with us, sharing their nonphysical perspective on the subject at hand. These Dead Talks are starting to get very interesting! To join the Inner Self reading waitlist with Christy email garybodley @ gmail . com To learn more about Christy Levy, click here.

We made it to our 50th episode, so what keeps us going? In a word, YOU. From our listeners to invited guests, to family members who helped with tech and made suggestions--to everyone who graced us with their time, support and expertise, we want to say THANK YOU. And that's why we are offering a great giveaway--two of Debie Frable's Skellie Kits will be awarded to two randomly selected subscribers to our newsletter--if you don't subscribe, it's easy to sign up through our website bootieandbossy.com. Please subscribe by October 7th, 2025 to be entered into the drawing. Thank you, Debie, for providing the fabulous Skellie kits!"What is the meaning of life? That was all--a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one."Virginia Woolf, To the LighthouseWhen we first embarked on this great podcast adventure, we had no idea how meaningful it would become, offering us a series of "little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck in the dark," as Virginia Woolf wrote in her novel, To the Lighthouse. Woolf herself was an avid knitter and wrote to her husband in 1912 that "Knitting is the saving of life." Her sister Vanessa Bell even painted a portrait of her knitting quietly in a chair. The opportunity to connect with others, hear their stories and learn tidbits of history (like the whereabouts of Napoleon's penis . . . ) and share our mistakes and missteps as well as those little daily miracles, has propelled us through 50 episodes. Along the way listeners in 44 of the 50 states (time to step up, you knitters in Utah, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota!) and in 17 countries abroad have joined us.And a good drink has helped too--try our celebratory Kir Royal--a nice glass of sparkling white wine with a splash of liquor. And then grab your pointed sticks and tune in to hear us reminisce because, well, like Mom setting off to marry Dad, we "thought that would be fun," and frankly, that's as good a reason as any to do anything.

France is due to be the latest country to recognise the state of Palestine. But could it spark a backlash from Israel? Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said recognition gives "a huge reward to terrorism".We hear from a member of France's national assembly, and from both Israelis and Palestinians. Also on the programme: the Egyptian president pardons the dual British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah, after years in prison; and the literature professor who stumbled across lost stories from one of the most important writers of the twentieth century - Virginia Woolf.(Photo:The Grabels mayor's house flies the Palestinian flag next to the French and European Union flags, in Grabels, Southern France on 22 September 2025.

Whether you've loved Mrs. Dalloway forever or Woolf is new to you, there's nothing more satisfying than thinking about this book for 45 minutes. We do a quick bio, a little chunk on modernism then a deep dive into the SEXY parts of the book. Indulge now and come away a little smarter.

At the heart of human existence is a tragic ambiguity: the fact that we experience ourselves both as subject and object, internal and external, at the same time, and can never fully inhabit either state. In her 1947 book, Simone de Beauvoir addresses the ethical implications of this uncertainty and the ‘agonising evidence of freedom' it presents, along with the opportunity it creates for continual self-definition. In this episode Jonathan and James discuss these arguments and Beauvoir's warnings against trying to evade the responsibilities imposed upon us by this ambiguity. They also look at the ways in which Beauvoir developed these ideas in The Second Sex and her novels, and her remarkable readings of George Eliot, Virginia Woolf and E.M. Forster.

Hon var Hollywoods första miljondollarstjärna som sprängde studiosystemet inifrån. Men det var som aktivist hon till slut hittade sin livs roll. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) slår igenom som barnstjärna i filmen Lassie och är sedan världsberömd för resten av sitt liv. Hon kommer att vinna två Oscars och medverka i filmklassiker som Katt på hett plåttak, Jätten och Vem är rädd för Virginia Woolf?Det är med blockbustern Cleopatra som hon inte bara blir fri från det tvingande studiosystemets klor utan också blir Hollywoods första filmstjärna att tjäna en miljon dollar för sin insats. Det är också under den inspelningen hon möter sin stora kärlek Richard Burton och en affär som blir dubbad ”Le Scandale” av skvallerpressen inleds. ”Liz and Dick” som paret kallas drar till sig sådan uppmärksamhet att det blir grogrunden för vår tids paparazzi-kultur, och uppståndelsen kring Elizabeth Taylors person bedarrar aldrig riktigt, mycket eftersom hon gifter sig åtta gånger, med sju olika män.Men Hollywood-skandaler och filmer är bara en liten del av biografin över Elizabeth Taylor. När AIDS-epidemin lamslår Ronald Reagans USA, är det Elisabeth Taylor som tar ton och driver på i maktens centrum. För hennes långa - och ibland inkognito - engagemang i frågan adlas hon av Elizabeth II.P3 ID om Elizabeth Taylor är historien om ett liv som innehåller så många kapitel, att det ter sig osannolikt. Om diamanter stora som plommon, en filmindustri i förändring och Michael Jackson.I avsnittet medverkar författaren Kate Andersern Brower, som skrivit den officiella biografin om Taylor, och kulturjournalisten Karin Svensson.Programledare och avsnittsmakare: Vendela LundbergProducent: Patrick StaneliusLjudmix: Fredrik NilssonI programmet hörs ljudklipp från: MGM, ABC, The David Frost Tapes, HBO Max Elizabeth Taylor The Lost Tapes, Around the world of Mike Todd, HBOs Bright Lights, The making of Cleopatra, 60 minutes, The Warners - a candidates lifestyle, Mavis on 4, Saturday Night Live, The Larry King Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show och GLAAD.

Para el autor su idea de la felicidad es conversar, le molesta mucho de sí mismo su torpeza, comenta por su desayuno que no es muy tempranero, y también su admiración por Virginia Woolf. Miente solo en situaciones de extrema necesidad, además se siente de su edad (73 años), lo hace enojar la traición, y su mayor lujo es oir música.

‘He stood still in the gloom of the hall, trying to catch the air that the voice was singing and gazing up at his wife. There was grace and mystery in her attitude as if she were a symbol of something.' A special episode this week, as we join Sally in conversation with James Bowen, the podcast's producer and a fellow teacher of literature. Listen for a conversation on the role of objects in narratives, and the way in which characters reduce one another to symbols in modernist literature, ranging across Joyce's short story ‘The Dead' (1904) to Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927). You can find out more about James and his work here. Alice Jolly's novel, The Matchbox Girl, discussed near the end of the episode is forthcoming with Bloomsbury, and is available to pre-order from all good booksellers. The wonderful piano music in the closing section is ‘Monday', by Paul Seba. You can listen to more of his work here. This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen. Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus. A note on the sound: We are still experimenting with this format, and apologise that the sound levels are a touch more uneven than normal. As such, you may need to set the volume at a slightly higher level than you normally might when playing this episode!

In this episode of his Summer Reading History Book Club, Charlie Higson discusses his favourite book about possibly the most famous person who has ever lived. Queen Elizabeth II. Virginia Woolf compared her to a caterpillar; Anne Frank kept pictures of her on the wall of her annex and Donald Trump offended her; E.M. Forster confessed he would have married her, if only she had been a boy.The book that uncovers these fascinating insights is A Voyage Around the Queen by the very clever and very funny Craig Brown and in this episode, Charlie and Craig talk about this and his other works.

Michelle de Kretser was born in Sri Lanka and lives in Australia on unceded Gadigal land. She writes fiction but has also published a short book about Shirley Hazzard's work. Theory & Practice, her seventh novel, recently won Australia's Stella Prize for writing by women. Theory and Practice is set in 1986, when “beautiful, radical ideas” are in the air. Its narrator is a young woman originally from Sri Lankan who arrives in Melbourne for graduate school to research the novels of Virginia Woolf. In the bohemian neighborhood of St. Kilda she meets artists, activists, students—and Kit. He claims to be in a “deconstructed relationship.” They become lovers, and the narrator's feminism comes up against her jealousy. Meanwhile, an entry in Woolf's diary upends what the narrator knows about her literary idol, and throws her own work into disarray. What happens when our desires run contrary to our beliefs? What should we do when the failings of revered figures come to light? Who is shamed when the truth is told? Michelle de Kretser's new novel offers a spellbinding meditation on the moral complexities that arise in the gap between our values and our lives. Learn more about your ad choices.

"We all need to have radical hope. I have my really hopeless days too, but… it's such a privilege to get to live and to survive. Our job is to live, and I think that's a really amazing thing.” - Jasmine WargaWe all want to make the most of our time here. Not just survive, but dream big and live fully. For Jasmine Warga, that means carrying forward the strength of those before her while creating space for joy, curiosity, and self-discovery. It means letting go of perfection, holding on to radical hope, and writing stories that reflect kids' realities. Jasmine Warga is a Newbery Honor winner and New York Times bestselling author of Other Words for Home, The Shape of Thunder, A Rover's Story, and more. Her work explores identity, belonging, and how being different can be what unites us. In this episode, Our Job is to Live: Jasmine Warga on Belonging and Radical Hope, Jasmine shares what it was like growing up as a mixed kid and daughter of an immigrant in Ohio, her lightbulb moment while teaching sixth grade, and how Animorphs, surrealist art and a dash of Virginia Woolf shaped not only her voice as a writer, but also her commitment to living joyfully, and spreading joy to others.***For her reading challenge, Read Global, Jasmine invites adult readers to step outside the familiar and read more broadly, beyond their own borders.Peruse selected titles and Jasmine's full reading challenge for free at thereadingculturepod.com/jasmine-wargaThis week's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Cassie Owens Moore, a middle school librarian in South Carolina at Seneca Middle School.

“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself”: So reads one of the great opening lines in British literature, the first sentence of Virginia Woolf's classic 1925 novel, “Mrs. Dalloway.”The book tracks one day in the life of an English woman, Clarissa Dalloway, living in post-World War I London, as she prepares for, and then hosts, a party. That's pretty much it, as far as the plot goes. But within that single day, whole worlds unfold, as Woolf captures the expansiveness of human experience through Clarissa's roving thoughts. On this week's episode, Book Club host MJ Franklin discusses it with his colleagues Joumana Khatib and Laura Thompson.Other books mentioned in this episode:“The Passion According to G.H.,” by Clarice Lispector“A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing,” by Eimear McBride“The Lesser Bohemians,” by Eimear McBride“To the Lighthouse,” by Virginia Woolf“Orlando,” by Virginia Woolf“A Room of One's Own,” by Virginia Woolf“The Hours,” by Michael Cunningham“Headshot,” by Rita Bullwinkel“Tilt,” by Emma Pattee Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.
