The fifth title in Lasting Echoes, a letterpress series celebrating short stories that endure.
About this Edition
Before she was the center of a novel, Clarissa Dalloway first appeared in this short story, first published in The Dial in 1923. On an ordinary June morning she walks out to buy a pair of gloves. From that small errand Woolf builds an entire inner world: memory, class, and the trauma of the First World War, still pressing on the living just beneath the surface of an ordinary hour. Little happens on the page, and nearly everything happens in the mind. It earns its place in Lasting Echoes as proof that the interior life often carries more weight than the events that frame it.

The Illustrator
Aubree Hoffmann is an Illustrator from Kaysville, Utah. She received her B.F.A. from Southern Utah University. Her passion for art started when she first learned to read. Picture books caught her attention and the words held it. Using traditional mediums like graphite and charcoal, mixed with digital paints, Aubree is able to create unique illustrations for children’s books and other works of literature.
Slipcase
An optional slipcase is available, designed to house any three chapbooks from the Lasting Echoes collection. It will also be offered separately in the future for readers who wish to build or expand their set over time.
What’s Next
Upcoming Lasting Echoes titles include short works by Brönte, Mann, Melville and more, with multiple titles already in development.
