Woolf continually used stories and sketches to experiment with narrative models and themes for her novels. This collection of nearly fifty pieces brings together the contents of two published volumes, A Haunted House and Mrs. Dalloway's Party; a number of uncollected stories; and several previously unpublished pieces. Edited and with an Introduction by Susan Dick.
原文摘录

...Life's what you see in people's eyes; life's what they learn, and, having learnit it, never, though they seek to hide it, cease to be aware of - what? That life's like that, it seems. Five faces opposite - five mature faces - and the knowledge in each face. Strange though, how people want to conceal it!... and the fifth - the terrible thing about the fifth is that she does nothing at all. She looks at life. Ah, but my poor, unfortunate woman, do play the game - do, for all our sakes, conceal it! (查看原文)
...The best thing to be against life was to fold the paper so that it made a perfect square, crisp. thick, impervious even to life. This done, I glanced up quickly, armed with a shield of my own. She pierced through my shield; she gazed into my eyes as if searching any sediment of courage at the depths of them and damping it to clay. Her twitch alone denied all hope, discounted all illusion.

形式有趣，节奏好，意蕴内涵极其丰富，非常有嚼劲的故事；从女性作家的视角审视女性的内心世界，有大口吸氧的快感。文笔极佳，英文写作的标高。

[第10本伍尔芙] 前后期的短篇小说风格迥异。《晚宴》、《闹鬼的屋子》几篇技法很是精湛，个人却还是更喜欢叙述方式回归传统的“Lappin and Lapinova”。

伍尔芙的短篇除了《墙上的斑点》和《邱园记事》，其实还有很多不错的作品，几乎每篇文章都能看到她在用心地试验怎样把某一个瞬间尽量凝练、生动地展现出来。 但试验毕竟是试验，总有一些冗长的部分和涉及到她所在小圈子独有的梗，抓不到笑点有些抓狂，这种情况下就想大段略过去。 这个版本书皮摸上去滑滑的，里面的纸张是泛黄的，翻起来很舒爽。 不知道芙的短篇有没有完整的中译版。
