After reading “An Unwritten Novel” written by Virginia Woolf, is a dazzling short story about viewpoint and reality contrasted with the intensity of the creative mind and the simplicity of losing yourself in your own musings. I didn’t exactly understand what kind of connection I can make with our course module readings in the first place, in any case, I accumulated a few notes from the story where the origination or activity of perusing was alluded to and nothing encouraged me better understand what was going on in the story. A few associations I made and understanding of the story is that it is a story being composed or made by the storyteller as she talks. The storyteller is by all accounts on a train perusing Time paper, presently a magazine, and viewing a woman opposite her. She contemplates her and makes this account of what she envisions her life to resemble or situations she accepts the woman experiences. This kind of composing is very different than what we regularly have been perusing. It speaks to the manner in which the storyteller thinks as she works out what she envisions this present woman’s life to resemble. I additionally understand it as an approach to perceive what’s inside the storyteller’s head, how she goes from perusing on paper to making an “unwritten novel” of another person’s life. This capacity to turn into a character and a story, the manner in which the storyteller does identifies with Maryanne Wolf’s view in “Passing over”, “Proust and the Squid” a term utilized by theologian John Dunne, portrays the cycle through which perusing empowers us to take a stab at, personality with, and at last enter for a short time the entire alternate point of view of another individual’s cognizance”. Writer’s capacity to make an anecdote around “An Unwritten Novel” speaks to this capacity for an individual to go into another individual’s brain, the manner in which the storyteller does in this short story. Maybe the main idea we have learned all through earlier in the semester is the way important perusing is and the capacity to peruse profoundly. “An Unwritten Novel” is an illustration of this profound perusing and the manner in which perusing can influence the manner in which you think.
