[Vwoolf] how to cook fish like Virginia Woolf

[Stuart N. Clarke]

I wish I could agree with Harish – especially since the recipe sounds disgusting to me – but I can’t.  Instead, I have always liked what George Rylands said:

“I don’t very much like the idea, except that it was very much like the college cooking, of a counterpane of sauce with brown flecks on it.” (“Recollections of Virginia Woolf”, ed. Noble)

Thank you, Anne, for this delicious ‘link’ which I discovered also embeds a Kickstarter campaign for the “Mary Review”, a new woman-produced general interest magazine that, after hearing some wonderful new research on Time & Tide at the Woolf conference, immediately had me lend my guinea to the cause. 

The crowdsourced campaign ends later today, but it’s worth taking a look at the design and rationale for the enterprise.

Very best
Alice

  Dear Anne 

  This is wonderful. But we in India have always believed that those who seek knowledge (as the audience in AROOO presumably did) need not eat or sleep too well  -- and had better not, in fact. Eat, Pray, Love, as in the title of that best-selling Western desideratum, sounds all wrong to us, if only because Pray should be the final stop and not Love. (It echoes  Eliot's gratuitous/ significant re-ordering of the three Da's in WL 5.)   

  A recent Hindi novel evokes in its title an ancient Sanskrit verse on how a true student/scholar should lead his life: eat little, leave home to go far way, be ever busy and questing as a crow, sleep like a dog in short snatches, and be focused like a heron (-- on catching fish!) 

  So, apparently, both these paths lead to the same goal. Catch and enjoy your fish -- while ye may! And let the sole/soul "shine."  

  Best.

    After all, one cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
