20: A Return to Complex Memory

Virginia Woolf wrote about memories of her mother in “Sketches of the Past,” which was reprinted in J. Schulkind, ed.,
Moments of Being
(New York: Harcourt Brace, 1985), p. 98; and is cited in S. Nalbation,

(New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2003).

The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore
