I looked for the Woolf quote but only found a reference to Bloomsbury book by Edel? https://www.theguardian.com/books/2005/apr/30/featuresreviews.guardianreview12 <br /><br />For NG, of who I am a big fan, even if I agree she sometimes has odd viewpoints that can seem dated, I can recommend the novella Family in addition to other recommendations (Family Sayings autobiog. is great too, but Family is a piercing story of characters and life's tangled path!)LukeBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513254578415358271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22532513.post-46313487749119724302013-03-13T13:45:00.510-04:002013-03-13T13:45:00.510-04:00I had just finished reading Ginzburg's essay &...I had just finished reading Ginzburg's essay 'My Vocation' which impressed me greatly by its keen insights into the mind of a writer.

I too agree that one of Ginzburgs greatest literary skills is her use of boredom and i agree too that many of her attempts don't succeed very well. By when they do, as it did in He and I, it is almost perfect. Good thoughtful stuff here. I know the post is old but keep on reviewing.FuzzyLogichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297081189409309957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22532513.post-60581675395500789912010-09-24T01:21:12.181-04:002010-09-24T01:21:12.181-04:00Condivido pienamente il suo punto di vista.
