"Mrs. Dalloway" arrived today. Having been lying in the mailbox for a whole day, the book felt almost icy as I was pulling it out from the Amazon package. On the back of the cover, there is one interesting, and of course, very Virginia-Woolf-like remark: "....heroic journeys...could also locate the enormous within everyday; that a life of errands and party-giving was every bit as viable a subject as any life lived anywhere". As innocuous as days are. As dramatic as life is. I found myself smiling at Virginia's melancholy profile portrait.
