Monday or Tuesday by Virginia Woolf — cover

Monday or Tuesday

Monday or Tuesday is a collection of short stories written by Virginia Woolf and first published in 1921. It is the only book of short stories that Virginia Woolf published during her lifetime.

It's a short story collection that contains:

  • A Haunted House
  • A Society
  • Monday or Tuesday
  • An Unwritten Novel
  • The String Quartet
  • Blue & Green
  • Kew Gardens
  • The Mark on the Wall

Woolf emphasizes in these stories that a tale not only tells a story but reflects a part of reality, which oscillates between the inner and outer world. For the writer, a story is not only made up of words, plots or characters but also of moments as real as fantastic or dreamlike, more extensive than any Monday or Tuesday can offer.
