Part of the 'Letters Live' event at the Hay Festival 2014. Recorded in the Tata Tent on 31st May 2014. Louise Brealey reads Virginia Woolf's suicide letter to her husband. This letter is taken from the book 'Letters of Note' by Shaun Usher
This was the first letter Louise read of the Letters Live event on this day.
So sorry its a bit wobbly at times but the chairs were quite rocky!
I do not own the copyright, and thank Hay Festival, Letters Live, Shaun Usher, Simon Garfield, Cannongate books, the readers and all behind the scenes for the most wonderful, enlightening event. Who knew Letters could rock quite so much?! If you've not read the books they are DEFINITELY worth a read - Letters of Note by Shaun Usher and To the Letter by Simon Garfield.

Louise Brealey & Virginia Woolf just punched me in the gut. Which is a huge compliment. BTW, if you're reading this & you're suicidal, please think twice. Seek help. Things can turn out much better than you can imagine right now. I'm living proof.

As a bipolar sufferer this letter really strikes home. My life has been ruined by this disease. I have lost my job, my wife and my sense of pride. I cannot imagine the pain Ms. Woolfe went through with the lack of medicines in her time. The pharmacy industry is still doing very little in terms of producing new and better medications. I hope my children will not suffer as I have. I wish for mental illness to one day be a minor thing.

As of the traffic noise wasn't bad enough, there various overlaying sounds of God knows what were an appalling diversion from a safe and poignant reading. Christ! Have some people lost all dense of occasion....
