Monday or Tuesday

"Monday or Tuesday" by Virginia Woolf is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This work showcases Woolf's mastery of stream-of-consciousness narrative and her exploration of themes such as time, memory, and perception. Each story offers a unique perspective on everyday experiences, often weaving the mundane with the abstract, inviting readers to consider the deeper meanings underlying their observations of life. The opening of the collection presents a haunting atmosphere through the story "A Haunted House," where a spectral couple searches for a lost treasure within the confines of their home. Their ethereal wanderings contrast with a narrator's fleeting perceptions of their environment, emphasizing themes of memory and longing. The narrative invites readers into a contemplative state, encouraging them to ponder the significance of love, loss, and the passage of time, setting a contemplative tone for the stories that follow.
