Mitz: The Marmoset Of Bloomsbury

"We have the success of Sigrid Nunez’s National Book Award-winning novel The Friend to thank for the reissue of her rich little 1998 gem about Leonard and Virginia Woolf’s rescued pet marmoset, Mitz. Set in England during the ominous buildup to WWII, this charming biographical novel is an ode to the Bloomsbury power couple’s devotion and commitment – to each other, their work, their friends and family, their freedom and their pets, including the tiny, impossible-to-housetrain, rodent-tailed monkey who rides around in Leonard’s waistcoat pocket. All threatened by dark times to come."
