[Vwoolf] US Woolfians - hang your heads in shame!

[Stuart N. Clarke]

“And if one asked her, longing to pin down the moment with date and season, but what were you doing on [Sunday the twenty-first of July 1940], she would look vague and say that she could remember nothing.  For all the dinners are cooked; the plates and cups washed; the children sent to school and gone out into the world.  Nothing remains of it all.  All has vanished.  No biography or history has a word to say about it.  And the novels, without meaning to, inevitably lie.”


“This Week was a nationally syndicated Sunday magazine supplement that was included in American newspapers between 1935 and 1969. In the early 1950s, it accompanied 37 Sunday newspapers. ... "It grew from a circulation of four million in 1935 to nearly 12 million in 1957 ...”’ (Wikipedia)

With a circulation like that, yet none of you noticed that one issue contained a *signed* story by Virginia Woolf.  Any European would say “Es ist unglaublich!”

Until now, we have only known ‘Gipsy, the Mongrel’ in draft form – instead of the published version, ‘The Little Dog Laughed’.

We will be republishing it in the May issue of the “Virginia Woolf Bulletin”.
