[Vwoolf] yet another Dalloway offspring

Sat Aug 3 18:42:00 EDT 2024

Hello all

Have not read any of Tatiana de Rosnay's book(s) (only knew the last name -
a famous family/dynasty) before a recent TV programme... Her recent
contribution to discussions of VW's novels on French TV was
very interesting, sensitive, personal & to the point, amongst other
sophisticated & well-informed contributions by some first rate participants.

You might be able to listen to this here - several of my neighbors & local
friends (who knew very little to nothing at all about VW before) were
entirely conquered & enthused and told me a lot about how they really liked
it.
The programme seems to have garnered a huge success. Please excuse me if I
had already shared this link at the time

De Rosnay's perception of VW as shown there is largely genuine & smart. No
surprise she was inspired to produce an "off-spring" of *D*, to repeat
Mark's efficient word.

Hope you are all having a good summer. No matter what (incl. sizzling sun!).

All the best
