A Room of One's Own

Virginia Woolf
Holland Park PressHolland Park Press

Much of what Ayres has to say about youthful exuberance, teenage angst and finding ones place in the world are universal. I thought of Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own as I read of a boy surveying his room. #TopoftheSixties #shortstories #1960s https://t.co/Z2SWKYCUBt https://t.co/rLTtUWqJcD

Braille, that’s what they taught me well there. I was already good at it when I was six. Since then, I’ve embossed tons of paper with dots. I wrote about life outside the gates of the Institute, the life I didn’t know. #TheInstitute @Vincent_Bijlo https://t.co/2HCQy801ef https://t.co/8Is0fppagD
