A stylistically innovative volume of short stories from the
groundbreaking author of Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and
Orlando. First presented as one volume in 1921, Monday or Tuesday
was the only collection of stories Virginia Woolf published in her
lifetime. Written in her experimental, stream-of-consciousness style,
these eight unconventional stories eschew traditional plot and
character development in favor of interior thoughts, emotions,
memories, and associations. From a heron’s in-flight perceptions
in “Monday or Tuesday” to a ghost couple searching for treasure in
“A Haunted House,” from a meditation on color as a catalyst for
imagination and emotional connections in “Blue and Green” to the
invented stories of a narrator on a train observing a fellow passenger
in “An Unwritten Novel,” Woolf’s poetic explorations take
readers in directions previously unexamined, revealing an intensity of
feeling and depth of insight that would continue to characterize her
later work. Michael Cunningham, author of the Pulitzer
Prize–winning novel The Hours, has said of Woolf: “She was doing
with language something like what Jimi Hendrix does with a guitar.”
Taken together, these lyrical and evocative stories create a rich
mosaic of the artist’s radically unique sensibility. Monday or
Tuesday includes“A Haunted House,” “A Society,” “Monday or
Tuesday,” “An Unwritten Novel,” “The String Quartet,”
“Blue and Green,” “Kew Gardens,” and “The Mark on the
Wall.” This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure
