Etc. - Question of the Week #16: Favorite Female Writers
How can we leave out Toni Morrison??
Etc. - Buttonhole books, question? What's your?
I can not believe this post has only one reply, and a question at that. What a great topic! My 'button-hole book' is: "A Very Close Conspiracy - Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf" by Jane Dunn. I knew little to nothing about either of these great ladies, and had read none of Virginia's books prior to reading this biography of these two sister's lives. For an amazing experience, read this book then read Woolf's "To the Lighthouse." Almost every scene and character in the "Lighthouse" relates back to Virginia's life, especially her childhood, however, both the characters and the scenes look a lot like Vanessa's impressionist paintings when viewed in this light. No character can be traced back to just one person in Virginia's life. They are all a mixture of multiple influences from her past. Check it out!
