A new book about Virginia Woolf’s connections to such mystical figures as Confucius and Rumi was published this year. Mystic Virginia Woolf, by Dr. Allison Lin, was written in Chinese and published in Tapiei while Lin was living in Gaziantep, Turkey.

Lin is an assistant professor in the Department of Western Language and Literature at the University of Gaziantep. She is also the author of Virginia Woolf and the European Avant-Garde (Taipei: Showwe, 2009).
