<div>Responding to J. J.'s query as to how one might have become addicted to Woolf, my enchantment was triggered by "Lappin and Lapinova" when I was a senior in college. I was mesmerized by the fairy tale of a failed marriage and then ended up writing my final
paper for the semester on Woolf's "Modern Fiction" and "Mr Bennett and Mrs Brown." And the rest is history.</div>

<div><font face="Verdana,Helvetica,Arial"><span style="font-size:12.0px">For one wonderful moment, I thot you meant Harpers Magazine — and then found it was actually Harpers BAZAAR which did serve to lower my expectations, as did her misattributing the asking
of a second bowl of soup to Mr. Ramsey rather than Mr. Carmichael, but I guess it does qualify as a “nice piece.” Would be fun to hear from others on the list as to how they first read and fell for VW’s intensifying prose — for Michael Cunningham, it was<i>
Mrs. Dalloway</i>, of course, and he admits to not understanding a word of it (as Ms Harris said of
<i>To the L</i> when she was 16) but also admits to not having been able to get it out of his mind....How did you first get started on her, Kristin?<br>
