Why people recommend it
Mitz by Sigrid Nunez is a biographical narrative that chronicles the life of the marmoset belonging to Virginia and Leonard Woolf, exploring the literary circles of the Bloomsbury Group through an unusual lens. On The Book Review podcast during an episode titled Rethinking the Epidemic of Domestic Violence, released on July 18, 2024, John Williams discussed his experience with the work. Williams explained that one of the main reasons he picked up the book, titled Mitz: The Marmoset of Bloomsbury by Nunez, was his deep admiration for Nunez's previous novel, The Friend. When the marmoset biography crossed his desk, it immediately stood out to him because of his positive history with the author's writing style and voice. This prior literary appreciation drove him to explore this unique historical account. Williams's reflection offered listeners insight into how an author's previous successes can successfully draw readers into entirely different subject matters and historical settings during the weekly podcast conversation.
