[Vwoolf] Vwoolf Digest, Vol 68, Issue 13

Thu Jan 25 15:02:27 EST 2018

Thanks to all who've provided such a lively birthday tribute to Virginia
today! I'm taking cake to my Bloomsbury Modernism class this afternoon in
her honor! Truly appreciated Sally Greene's double tribute to Woolf and
Ursula K. LeGuin: I read them both in college and they both had a profound
impact on my reading and thinking, then and now.
