Woolf Speaking about Writing

I actually just received this link from another AI here at IU and figured it worth posting. I became a fan of Virginia Woolf while at Montana State and studying literature of place with poet and Woolf scholar Danell Jones. The quick two minute clip has Woolf talking about writing (big surprise right?), but what's really quite cool is the fact that the recording is the only known recording of her voice. To read the words of someone is always such a different experience from hearing them speak. The clip is worth a listening if only to hear one of the greatest writers of all-time finally speak beyond the page.
