Thanks! You know, Woolf is definitely a challenge and this bio actually gave me an insight as to why. It has to do with how she conceives of us as being individuals who are part of a social whole--and so her "stream of consciousness" moves from one point of view to another, sometimes with little or no notice. Good to know, but still confusing to the reader.

I do envy you that you did your college at a time when women's studies were coming on line, whereas I missed that. And so, with my enfeebled intellect, I'm trying to sort of catch up.

Anyway, I'm working on it. And good luck with screwing Hemingway. I'd try it with Gellhorn, but I'm pretty sure she'd slap the snot out of me, lol...
