The Death of Virginia Woolf

  • Chapter
Book cover Virginia Woolf

Abstract

Louie Mayer. Mrs Woolf always slept outside in the garden room. She would have the breakfast and come in and have a bath. You would think there was somebody else in the bathroom, which there wasn’t — she always talked to herself. And she was on the books all the time. Very much so. But the moment she come down she was quite normal, quite back to herself again. You could always tell, I think, when she was sad because she walked about very slowly, as if she was thinking. She would bump into things, you know; she might walk up in the garden, not realise she was very near a tree or something like that.

Listener, 15 January 1970, pp. 87–8.
