[Vwoolf] anyone out there working on/writing VW fan fiction?

[J.D. Engle]

Hi again, Leslie, and thanks.

I must say I have never given much thought to the genre quesion per se.
Two Seasons was the fruit of a personal near-obsession.  Following my first
reading of To the Lighthouse decades ago, I felt what would become an
abiding curiosity concerning Lily Briscoe's future.

After a long university career writing critically about literature and
cinema, I at last found myself able to return in a different manner that
that of the critic, allowing Lily and the remaining Ramsays and friends to
grow and change, first five years after the events of To the Lighthouse
("Autumn") and then another five ("Spring").  For the new writer I myself
had become, I adopted the very mild pseudonym of J.D. Engle (instead of
John Engle).

Anyway, Leslie, while that perhaps doesn't help much, good luck with your
research on the genre issue. I truly hope you enjoy Two Seasons and would
love to hear your reactions.

All best,
John
