The New Dress - A Profound Tale of Insecurity Perception and Social Pressure

Virginia Woolf, Zenith Horizon Publishing

Maison d'édition: Zenith Horizon Publishing

Synopsis

✨ "Have I made a mistake?"
In this hauntingly intimate short story, Virginia Woolf strips bare the fragile layers of human self-consciousness. The New Dress plunges readers into the mind of Mabel Waring, a woman gripped by doubt and discomfort at a high-society party. Her internal dialogue—full of vulnerability, anxiety, and raw emotion—becomes a masterclass in stream-of-consciousness narrative.

🧠 Through vivid inner monologue and sharp observation, Woolf captures what it means to feel out of place in a world obsessed with appearances. Her minimalist plot is overshadowed by an overwhelming emotional weight—a timeless portrayal of identity, shame, and societal expectations.

💬 Virginia Woolf is regarded as one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century. Readers and critics alike have praised her ability to depict the inner lives of women with unmatched clarity and grace.

Whether you're a fan of modernist literature or exploring Woolf for the first time, The New Dress is a compact literary gem that lingers in the mind long after the last line.

A Pity Party Is Still a Party -...

Chelsea Harvey Garner

Most of us try to avoid feeling sad, but in this candid, comical, and deeply-felt book, therapist Chelsea Harvey Garner doesn’t just argue that the future will be brighter if we learn to enjoy the unenjoyable and support each other when the vibes aren’t so good, she also shows us how. 
What if all the advice we’ve received about “looking on the bright side” is wrong? What if sadness is actually the key to happiness, and can even be . . . fun? Garner is here to make that case. In this feel-good guide to feeling bad, she claims it’s not enough for us to tolerate hard feelings. We need to embrace them. We need to let them show by crying with others. Often. In public. 
Playful, at times irreverent, but always sincere, Garner is the grown-up Miss Frizzle for the therapy generation. She believes that if we want to build a world where mental health is the norm, we have to lean into connection and count on each other, even—and perhaps especially—at our worst. 
Through anecdotes about her own hardships and insights gained in her clinical practice, Garner illuminates the power (and embarrassment) of opening up. Featuring solo exercises, group activities, and journal prompts alongside personal essays, she invites us to see emotions in a new light and engage with them in a healthier way. A Pity Party is Still a Party helps us find the silver lining, but only after we’ve played in the rain.
