I’m curious about Militarism vs Feminism.

I know, me too. Here’s a couple snapshots.

Old Virago editions are always such a brilliant find

joiedevivre9.bsky.social•27 days ago

I agree & they were only $3 to $4 each & they are in great condition. Very exciting!

petipaw.bsky.social•27 days ago

I’ll admit I’m a bit envious

Helen Hodgman is *quite* the surprise if you haven't read her previously

joiedevivre9.bsky.social•27 days ago

I haven’t read her before.

bookwormnorth.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts 😊

joiedevivre9.bsky.social•27 days ago

I’ll keep you posted. 😊

Great haul

nichollsm86.bsky.social•27 days ago

😍 at the Virago, I have the second and last one as well. Sleepless Nights is a book I want to read asap and you got some great finds.

Like the look of the May Sarton book.

joiedevivre9.bsky.social•27 days ago

I’ve never seen it before. It’s got all sorts of good stuff in it.

nonsuchbook.bsky.social•27 days ago

Wow. And there’s my scary Bowen. Love her writing but, like Brookner and Highsmith, there is something divinely icy about her.

joiedevivre9.bsky.social•27 days ago

That’s a perfectly curated shelf right there, Divinely Icy.

I just finished Sarton's journal Encore: the Eightieh Year where she was working to produce this very book. I hope to get to it at some point.

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS is great, and that’s a lovely edition you’ve picked up there!

joiedevivre9.bsky.social•27 days ago

I love this book! I actually already own the NYRB edition, but I couldn’t resist the Virago.

jacquiwine.bsky.social•27 days ago

Wonderful. I am ever so slightly envious!

@neglectedbooks.com Have you read this book about Dorothy Richardson? Thoughts?

neglectedbooks.com•27 days ago

Yes, I recommend it as the best short introduction to Dorothy Richardson's life and work.

joiedevivre9.bsky.social•27 days ago

Excellent! I didn’t remember you mentioning it before, which means nothing fwiw because I can’t seem to remember anything these days.😂 It was a lucky find!

Swoon! I've been reading this today after coming across refs to 'Sleepless Nights' in Brian Dillon's 'Essayism':

I love this book! I actually already own the NYRB edition, but couldn’t resist the Virago.

vickymackenzie.bsky.social•27 days ago

All the stars are aligning for me - this will definitely be my next book purchase! Very into the idea of owning multiple editions of a book you love 😍📚

joiedevivre9.bsky.social•27 days ago

I can’t wait to hear what you think.
