After nursing her back to health, he was rarely seen without the amusing monkey on his shoulder. A ubiquitous presence in Bloomsbury society, Mitz moved with the Woolfs between their homes in London and Sussex. She developed her own special relationships with the family's cocker spaniels and with the various members of the Woolfs' circle, among them T. S. Eliot and Vita Sackville-West. Mitz even played a vital role in helping the Woolfs escape a close call with Nazis in Germany just before World War II. Blending letters, diaries, and memoirs, acclaimed novelist Sigrid Nunez reconstructs Mitz's life, painting it against the fascinating backdrop of Bloomsbury in its twilight years. Tender, affectionate, and filled with humor, this novel offers a striking look at lives shadowed by war, death, and mental breakdown, as well as the happiness and productivity this plucky creature inspired.</div> 486221 1998 Mitz: The Marmoset of Bloomsbury total:28|5:4|4:8|3:15|2:1|1:0| 28 99 39 9 5 0 false false Thu Nov 12 14:31:12 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 05 08:09:18 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 21:32:40 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 23:59:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Jun 25 10:34:07 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 25 10:34:07 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Feb 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 20:19:44 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 21:23:55 -0800 2009 But given my love of most things Virginia Woolf, I decided to overlook all of ...more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun May 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun May 25 09:33:34 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 00:12:08 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 15 15:18:20 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 15:18:20 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Nov 21 08:06:18 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 21 08:16:18 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Fri Sep 05 10:36:16 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 10:51:01 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Sep 07 06:21:52 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 15:17:03 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 09:57:31 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 09:57:31 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Oct 11 19:55:10 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 19:55:13 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Oct 17 06:46:35 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 09:20:55 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 09:20:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 06:14:05 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 20:20:39 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 06:14:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 02 09:45:32 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 09:45:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 11:26:10 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 11:26:10 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Tue Apr 21 23:45:24 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 23:45:24 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Apr 19 14:07:27 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 14:07:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 16 13:33:56 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 13:33:56 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Apr 15 12:05:51 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 12:17:02 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Mar 15 18:33:58 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 09:44:08 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 18:33:58 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=33367
