Virginia Woolf in Manhattan

Maggie Gee

Telegram Books

2014

English

Fictional

"Virginia flies with Angela to a conference in Istanbul, makes friends, finds new lovers, and steals the show at international meeting on – Virginia Woolf. The novel asks what Virginia would make of contemporary literature, the book trade, love, sex and digital addictions? Are we free-er than in Woolf’s day? By showing Woolf’s joy in seizing life, Gee challenges the cliché that great female artists are self-destructive, and engagingly shows Woolf’s ideas on equality, feminism and bisexuality are as vibrant and important as ever. A witty, profound novel about the miraculous possibilities of second chances."
