Insightful reviews
Andrew Gallina: Want a fun, sweet, and thoroughly enchanting quick read, pick up 'Flush' by
Virginia Woolf! It is a true delight from start to finish, and not daunting or heavy at all. In fact,
after reading quite a few Woolf novels, this is not only the most accessible, but really the most
fun. And Woolf's beautiful writing and descriptions are all here. This would be the perfect place
to start for someone new to Woolf. They'll be hooked for sure. In the canon of Woolf's works,
'Flush' seems to be the most overlooked, which is truly a shame, because it is a gem of a novel!
Read it, you'll be glad you did! Highly recommended!
Josh: Woolf seems to have been very interested in biography: in addition to this one she wrote
Roger Fry and a parody of biographical writing (Orlando). She was also friends with Lytton
Strachey of Eminent Victorians fame. Flush does a good job of imitating and parodying the
biographical style. It doesn't so much enter into the mind of a dog; her Flush is really a human
consciousness that is unusually interested in smells and rather lacking in understanding of
human affairs. Accepting that it is not particularly dog-like, it is a compelling consciousness to
spend time with, and Woolf does a good job of conveying how differently pets and their owners
can take a given situation. It is a light book, which is what Woolf set out to write, but it is filled
with good humor and pathos.
Fidel Sánchez Buergo: Valoro muy positivamente ese arte de Woolf de orquestar el
pensamiento de todo lo vivo e incluso de lo muerto, de dejar que el lector nade por sensaciones
de diversa índole. Pero lo que sobre todo valoro son sus diestras condiciones en el arte de
aburrir. Este libro me ha hecho preguntarme muchas cosas ¿Cómo se pueden escribir ciento
cincuenta páginas y conseguir que todas y cada una de ellas hagan bostezar?
Desde luego es algo que no está al alcance de cualquiera.
Una vez terminado, no tengo ninguna duda de que lo mejor del libro es esa introducción,
curiosa, en la que Woolf nos explica que Hispania (al contrario de lo que se piensa) proviene
del fenicio y significa "isla de conejos". Por ello los Cocker Spaniel se llaman así, puesto que
son, en origen, cazadores de conejos.
Del resto de la novela, no hay demasiado que decir. La pretensión de meterse en la mente de
un perro es demasiado para un humano, aunque se apellide Woolf.
En la novela, lo más trascendente es que a Flush lo secuestran, que tiene pulgas, y que se
hace viejo. Todo ello visto desde un lento y soporífero aura condicionado por el deseo de
enternecer, y que a mí me respinga.
Dice en la sinopsis que es "la obra más deliciosa de su autora". Curiosa incitación a leer más
de ella.
De cualquier forma, lo divertido es la cantidad de gente que puntúa con dieces este libro. Me
parece muy lícito que haya gente a quien le guste. Perfecto. Pero, si este libro es un diez, ¿qué
nos cabe esperar?
¿Cómo puntuará esa muchedumbre que se desvive en adjetivos grandilocuentes para describir
este libro a Las olas, Al faro, Orlando...?
Danielle: Virginia Woolf turns out to have a penchant for writing fictional biographies of
unrealistic proportions, as evidenced by means of her moment novel-biography Flush. released
5 years after Orlando in 1933, Flush is the biography of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning's
cocker spaniel. Flush turns into Elizabeth's spouse at a tender age, and faithfully lays by way of
her couch as she spends her days unwell in her father's home. Flush watches Elizabeth obtain
letters that make her eyes shine, and watches because the writer of these letters (Robert
Browning) starts to go to daily. Flush turns into jealous of Browning and attempts to chew off his
leg a variety of times, an motion that is continuously punished via Elizabeth's disdain, and for
which Flush ultimately repents. Flush is even abducted by way of a infamous napper of the pets
of rich families, and held in a filthy basement in Whitechapel till Elizabeth can pay the
ransom.More than a whimsical tale of a dog, Flush explores problems with classification and
patriarchy in a really artistic way. Early within the novel, Flush realizes that "dogs will not be
equal, yet different" and after reading himself within the reflect makes a decision he's a member
of the aristocracy (he needs to definitely be along with his "prominent yet now not gozzled eyes"
and the crimson jar from which he drinks). Flush's epiphany reviews at the position of
sophistication in human lifestyles and has specific implications while juxtaposed with Elizabeth's
life. After taking a look within the mirror, "he notes with approval the crimson jar from which he
drank--such are the privileges of rank; he bent his head quietly to have the chain fastened to his
collar--such are its penalties." Like Flush, Elizabeth has the privileges of rank via owning a
house and great things, yet she, too, needs to quietly bend her head to have the chain mounted
to her collar as a lady in Victorian instances who needs to undergo patriarchy. Elizabeth's father
didn't want her to marry and so she grew to become a kind of spinster invalid, a prisoner in her
father's home, until eventually she used to be "rescued" by way of Browning.Flush is a uniquely
stress-free novel with all of the hilarity that one might anticipate of a biography of a cocker
spaniel, and with all of the perception one might count on of Virginia Woolf. even though Woolf
has a tendency to have stigmas connected to her of being a grumpy, depressed, and snobby
author who finally ends up killing herself, Flush proves to be a funny and enjoyable made from
Woolf's experience of humor, cleverness, and her comprehension of social issues.
Yani: Si tuviera que definirlo con una palabra, sería “engañoso” (en un sentido positivo).
Aquello que al principio parece ser l. a. biografía del perro de los angeles poeta Elizabeth
Barrett Browning termina siendo su historia de vida, pero a través de los ojos del simpático
animalito. Así y todo, Woolf no deja de lado problemas que conciernen tanto al perro como a l.
a. Humanidad. El libro empieza con una aproximación muy linda y muy humorística a los
orígenes de l. a. raza cocker spaniel, en donde Woolf, con su fino sarcasmo, también comenta
qué sucede con los angeles aristocracia humana. Flush va a ser adoptado por Elizabeth y l. a.
relación entre ellos va a fluctuar entre el amor y el odio. Por supuesto, el que siempre
permanece fiel y olvida las peleas más rápido es el perro.Amé este libro por muchas razones.
Creo que es casi innecesario decir que Woolf escribe y describe todo con una forma tan
specific y tan admirable que vuelve difícil que uno abandone los angeles lectura. Por más
mínimo que sea el tema que esté tratando, ella lo agiganta y le da belleza, pero también sabe
lidiar con cuestiones tan complicadas como l. a. pobreza. l. a. combinación de las vidas de l. a.
mascota y de su dueña me resultó subrepticia e interesante, al igual que los angeles sensación
de que Barrett Browning fue una mujer intensa, algo que me dejó con muchas ganas de leerla,
a pesar de que en algunas ocasiones me cayó mal, como autora y como personality
(refiriéndome a su correspondencia). A l. a. vez, los datos sobre otros personajes involucrados
en l. a. historia son imperdibles.En conclusión, Flush es un libro (y un perro) precioso que
apunta a los angeles sensibilidad que siempre despiertan los animales, con un trasfondo
demasiado humano e imposible de ignorar. Y puedo afirmar que me pareció excellent para
conocer y acercarme a Barrett Browning por un camino poco convencional.
