<p>Thirty years ago, a professor threw a chair at Sina Queyras after they’d turned in an essay on Virginia Woolf.</p>
<p>Queyras returns to that contentious first encounter with Virginia Woolf to recover the body and thinking of that time. Using Woolf’s <i>A Room of One’s Own</i> as a touchstone, this book is both an homage to and provocation of the idea of a room of one’s own at the centre of our idea of a literary life.</p>
<p>How central is the room? And what happens once we get one? Do we inhabit our rooms? Or do the rooms contain us? Blending memoir
