´Why, if one wants to compare life to anything, one must liken it to being blown through the Tube at fifty miles an hour - landing at the other end without a single hairpin in one´s hair! Shot out at the feet of God entirely naked! ... Yes, that seems to express the rapidity of life, the perpetual waste and repair; all so casual, all so haphazard´
Virginia Woolf tested the boundaries of fiction in these short stories, developing a new language of sensation, feeling and thought, and recreating in words the ´swarm and confusion of life´. Defying categorization, the stories range from the more traditional narrative style of ´Solid Objects´ through the fragile impressionism of ´Kew Gardens´ to the abstract exploration of consciousness in ´The Mark on the Wall´.
