Вирджиния Вулф проверила границы фантастики в своих коротких рассказах, разработав новый язык ощущений, чувств и мыслей и воссоздав в словах "рой и неразбериху жизни". Не поддающиеся категоризации истории варьируются от более традиционного повествовательного стиля "Твердых объектов" через хрупкий импрессионизм "Садов Кью" до абстрактного исследования сознания в "Метке на стене" • Книга на английском языке • 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'
