"Virginia Woolf had dogs throughout her life, and with each one she formed a special bond. They were the only creatures in the world capable of pulling her away from her darkest thoughts and helping her appreciate the playful side of life. They renewed her after the fatigue of writing, inspired her literary imagination, accompanied her writing, and were objects of her deep love.

Woolf! Woolf! tells the story of this extraordinary relationship, drawing from the many writings in which she spoke of them in one way or another. It narrates a special day on which the writer’s inner torment is defeated by lightness, thanks to the spontaneity of her furry companions Grizzle and Pinker—the dog who inspired the biographical novel Flush.

The book is based on letters, stories, and writings by Virginia Woolf, and it reveals a lesser-known aspect of her private life, showing how her beloved companions were essential parts of her existence."
