Love Letters: Vita and Virginia was published by Vintage in February 2021 and brings together a collection of life writing manifestations by Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West, important literary figures of the 20th century. With an introduction by Alison Bechdel, author of auto/biographical narratives in comics, the volume offers different glimpses into the personalities and masks of these two artists, the socio-historical-cultural context surrounding them, and the details, entanglements, and disentanglements that epistolary writing manages to facilitate.
