sunday sounds : the last words remain

February 28, 2016 in Sunday Sounds

This Sunday Sounds brings us the only surviving recording of one of my favorite writer’s voices – author Virginia Woolf.It is part of a BBC radio broadcast from April 29th, 1937. The talk was called “Craftsmanship” and was part of a series entitled “Words Fail Me.” The audio is accompanied by a slideshow of photographs of Virginia Woolf.

Leave behind a recording of your voice, I urge you. I can no longer remember the sound of my father’s voice. This is why I have recorded my books as audio books, to leave behind my voice for my children.
