A Writer's Diary: Being Extracts from the Diary of Virginia Woolf by Virginia Woolf

5.0

Very hard to read the last couple of years’ entries, in which Woolf writes about WW2, knowing how her story ends. But fascinating to read Woolf’s reflections on her books as she conceives, then writes, then publishes them. Interesting that Woolf is always depressed when she finishes a book; is always convinced that she has written a load of rubbish that no one will like or appreciate; and that when the books are instead well-received she writes that in the hope that she’ll remember the pattern next time - and yet she never does.
