A stylistically innovative volume of short stories from the groundbreaking author of Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando. First presented as one volume in 1921, Monday or Tuesday was the only collection of stories Virginia Woolf published in her lifetime. Written in her experimental, stream-of-consciousness style, these eight unconventional stories eschew traditional plot and character development in favor of interior thoughts, emotions, memories, and associations. From a heron's in-flight perceptions in "Monday or Tuesday" to a ghost couple searching for treasure in "A Haunted House, " from a meditation on color as a catalyst for imagination and emotional connections in "Blue and Green" to the invented stories of a narrator on a train observing a fellow passenger in "An Unwritten Novel, " Woolf's poetic explorations take readers in directions previously unexamined, revealing an intensity of feeling and depth of insight that would continue to characterize her later work. Michael Cunningham, author of the Pulitzer Prize?winning novel The Hours, has said of Woolf: "She was doing with language something like what Jimi Hendrix does with a guitar." Taken together, these lyrical and evocative stories create a rich mosaic of the artist's radically unique sensibility. Monday or Tuesday includes "A Haunted House, " "A Society, " "Monday or Tuesday, " "An Unwritten Novel, " "The String Quartet, " "Blue and Green, " "Kew Gardens, " and "The Mark on the Wall."

One of the most distinguished critics and innovative authors of the twentieth century, Virginia Woolf published two novels before this collection appeared in 1921. However, it was these early stories that first earned her a reputation as a writer with "the liveliest imagination and most delicate style of her time." Influenced by Joyce, Proust, and the theories of William James, Bergson, and Freud, she strove to write a new fiction that emphasized the continuous flow of consciousness, time's passage as both a series of sequential moments and a longer flow of years and centuries, and the essential indefinability of character. Readers can discover these and other aspects of her influential style in the eight stories collected here, among them a delightful, feminist put-down of the male intellect in "A Society" and a brilliant and sensitive portrayal of nature in "Kew Gardens." Also included are "An Unwritten Novel," "The String Quartet," "A Haunted House," "Blue & Green," "The Mark on the Wall," and the title story. In recent years, Woolf's fiction, feminism, and high-minded sensibilities have earned her an ever-growing audience of readers. This splendid collection offers those readers not only the inestimable pleasures of the stories themselves, but an excellent entr?e into the larger body of Woolf's work.
