Thursday, April 25 · 7 - 8:30pm PDT
Mrs Dalloway's
2904 College Avenue Berkeley, CA 94705

Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore on Thursday, April 25th at 7:00 PM when author Elizabeth Abel comes to read from, discuss, and sign copies of her new book Odd Affinities: Virginia Woolf's Shadow Genealogies.

Experience a new reading of Virginia Woolf in the context of “long modernism.” Elizabeth will be joined in conversation by author Claire Kahane.
In recent decades, Virginia Woolf’s contribution to literary history has been located primarily within a female tradition. Elizabeth Abel dislodges Woolf from her iconic place within this tradition to uncover her shadowy presence in other literary genealogies. Abel elicits unexpected echoes of Woolf in four major writers from diverse cultural contexts: Nella Larsen, James Baldwin, Roland Barthes, and W. G. Sebald. By mapping the wayward paths of what Woolf called “odd affinities” that traverse the boundaries of gender, race, and nationality, Abel offers a new account of the arc of Woolf’s career and the transnational modernist genealogy constituted by her elusive and shifting presence.
ELIZABETH ABEL is the John F. Hotchkis Professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley. She is the author of Virginia Woolf and the Fictions of Psychoanalysis and Signs of the Times: The Visual Politics of Jim Crow and the editor or coeditor of four collections, most recently, Female Subjects in Black and White: Race, Psychoanalysis, Feminism.
CLAIRE KAHANE is a Professor of English Emerita at the University at Buffalo, SUNY and a Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley. A feminist-psychoanalytic critic, she has written on modern American and British fiction, Gothic literature, and Holocaust trauma. She is the author of Passions of the Voice: Hysteria, Narrative, and the Figure of the Speaking Woman, 1850-1915 and the forthcoming memoir Nine Lives: My Perilous Road From Fifties Femme to Feminist Critic.

Everyone is welcome but pre-registration is requested. Registration ends at 5:30 pm on April 25th.
