Virginia Woolf Vs Babsi Jones - Gianni Biondillo & Giancarlo De Cataldo
2007-10-05 00:37:00 Più si invecchia, più si ama l'indicenza. Ma non ho mai pensato di odiarmi sino al punto di reincarnarmi, men che meno in Babsi Jones. Virginia Woolf Vivo un mio personale conflitto d’interessi. M’è stato chiesto di intervistare un amico, Giancarlo De Cataldo. Potrebbe diventare abbastanza rischiosa la deriva indulgente, la sviolinata in tempo reale, il, per dirla alla maniera di Quentin Tarantino, “farsi i pompini a vicenda”. Ma sono abbastanza certo di non cadere in tale tentazione. Gianni Biondillo Non scriviamo più recensioni sui blog. Clicca su I don't blog e aderisci anche tu.

Book Review: Shaggy Muses: The Dogs Who Inspired Virginia Woolf, Emily Dick
2007-10-03 18:55:00 Author Maureen Adams wrote a wonderful overview of these famous women writers in her book Shaggy Muses. She explores each writer's life within the context of their relationship and dependence on their dog(s). If you are a dog lover, you can connect to the strong bonds between the women and their dogs. A dog is always accepting and incredibly tolerant. These dogs were no different and constantly, devotedly listened to their mistresses recite their work without ever appearing critical. They also kept the writers from feeling too much loneliness during their literary solitude.Even if you are not a dog lover, this book offers a great overview and introduction to some of the most famous women writers of English literature. I do have to warn you; however, some of the experiences these women went through were painful.Pick up a copy of "Shaggy Muses: The Dogs Who Inspired Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edith Wharton, and Emily Bronte" by Maureen Adams.Publishe...

La señora Dalloway - Virginia Woolf
2007-07-24 21:47:00 La señora Dalloway (1925) es una novela de Virginia Woolf detallando un día en la vida de la protagonista Clarissa Dalloway en Inglaterra después de la Primera Guerra Mundial. La novela sigue a Clarissa Dalloway a través de una sólo día en Inglaterra después de la Gran Guerra en una narrativa de estilo de flujo de consciencia. Construida a través de dos pequeñas historias que Woolf había escrito previamente ("La señora Dalloway en Bond Street" y su inconclusa "El Primer Ministro") la historia básica es que los preparativos de Clarissa para una fiesta que va a ofrecer esa noche. Usando la perspectiva interior de la novela, Woolf se mueve hacia atrás y adelante en el tiempo, y dentro y fuera de la mente de varios personajes para construir una imagen completa, no solo de la vida de Clarissa, pero de la estructura social entre guerras.Bajar el libro aquí
?The Spirit of Delight? Virginia Woolf speaks...
2007-05-19 13:42:00 ?The Spirit of Delight? Virginia Woolf speaks of visits by the ?spirit of delight?, and my friend Carol Gibson of the same experience. As does my partner in ?magic moments?. And I am reminded of it by Proust?s ?madelaine?, the taste of which sets off ?A la recherché du temps perdus? (?Remembrance of Things Past?). And I am occasionally and unexpectedly found by this seductive phantom. And wait and long for more. Yesterday - remarkably - there were several calls. The first was brought on by the perfume base of the cold cream worn by a tall slim elegant late thirty-something woman in a Cuban restaurant, ?Café Havana? in Malate, one of the districts in the former night life (i.e. sex industry) area of the city. Which is now re-constructing itself as a trendy hip Paddington (Sydney) Chelsea (London) Soho (New York) shopping, dining out and clubbing scene. And then twice later in the evening in ?The Library?, a gay karaoke-Comedy Café venue. Similarly evoked by the same sce...
Virginia Woolf
2007-03-02 11:27:01 Thanks to TM for sending me this beautiful song … classsy Some will strut and some will fret See this an hour on the stage Others will not but theyll sweat In their hopelessness and their rage Were all the same the men of anger And women of the page They published your diary And thats how I got to know you The key to the room of your own and a mind without end And heres a young girl On a kind of a telephone line through time And the voice at the other end comes like a long lost friend So I know Im all right Life will come and life will go Still I feel its all right Cause I just got a letter to my soul And when my whole life is on the tip of my tongue Empty pages for the no longer young The apathy of time laughs in my face You say each life has its place The hatches were battened The thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed The battle surrounded the white flag of your youth If you need to know that you weathered the storm Of cruel mortality A hundred years later Im sittin... |
