Gentle readers, I know that posting has been light. I am writing--more than ever--but the work I'm pouring into my lecture (just eleven days away!) on Mrs. Dalloway is sufficiently consuming that I'm finding it hard to digest it into little blog-friendly tidbits.
On top of that, we have bought a house--or are buying one--and will close on the sale the very day after my lecture!
I pack a box. I write a paragraph. I lie awake at night worrying about where the couch will fit, what the new daycare will be like, and whether I really should include that anecdote about Lytton Strachey in my lecture.
All of this makes for a rather manic interior life, but not one that I want to blog about.
Never fear. In November, I'll be unpacking at my leisure in our new home (with my very own study) in the melodiously named and lovely town of South Orange, New Jersey (where, yes, the middle school does have a giant orange on a pole out front!) and blogging should resume at its usual sporadic pace.
Until then, I hope to see you--in reality or in spirit--on 10/21 at 4:00!

I went to your lecture at The New York Public Library last week and my friend and I learned much more about the writing of Mrs.Dalloway than we thought we knew already! I just came across an interesting foot note (9) to an essay by Jana Carlisle in the Virginia Woolf Bulletin of January 2003 (issue No.12), page 38, about how 'Woolf's British printer had a general tendency to ignore or occasionally to alter her punctuation after the last proof-reads, and that her alterations were not always adhered to.' I am sure you will have picked this up in your researches for your book, but I mention it anyway. I did mention your lecture event in my blog a few days ago. I have just discovered your blog and made the connection!
