[Vwoolf] The New York Public Library’s Collection of Weird Objects - Virginia Woolf’s cane

[Gregory Jordan Dekter]

It's disturbing to see NYPL's focus for this curio remains on Woolf's
suicide, not her life in general, or her contribution to society. No doubt
that cane took many other journeys with its user, but the final one is the
only one that seems to matter. Their propensity for titillation over
context is especially evident, given the curator's claim that these objects
express some kind of exceptional knowledge of the person who owned them.
I'm not entirely sure how that's supposed to work.
