Zadie Smith👍 Recommends
…zadie smith recommends virginia woolf's five-volume diary collection
“And the other thing I've read recently, which I keep on banging on about, is all of Virginia Woolf's diaries. There's five volumes. I know that sounds like a lot of work. But honestly, that woman is just a pleasure to be around. Like, just her mind is something I want to be around. So that's like my Twitter, I guess. From September to very recently, I'd spend an hour or so a day just hanging out, listening to her burble about whatever she was burbling about. And it was just joy.”
