About the book
Mireia Corachán publishes her second novel, Virginia Woolf’s The Typewriter
● The work is a biographical drama about this great writer, told through the eyes of her typist.
Mireia Corachán (Paterna, 1980), a Valencian journalist and writer, will publish her third work in the coming weeks, after starting with the book of short stories, Luces de Neón, and with her costumbrista novel, El Molino. It is a biographical approach to the figure of the renowned author Virginia Woolf, narrated from the perspective of her own typist, a fictional character who will become our own eyes in this story that hybridizes reality and fiction, with London at the beginning of the 20th century as a backdrop. Published by the Valencian label Cuadranta, the work portrays the bohemian and intellectual life of London at the beginning of the last century, interspersed with the personal story of its protagonist, Laura.
With this novel, Corachán wishes to establish herself in this difficult world of creation and to bring readers closer to the great figure of Woolf, from an educational and entertaining perspective. The novel is notable for its recognizable settings and its characters, many of them real, relevant figures of the Bloomsbury Circle, combined with other fictional ones or inspired by them.
Mireia Corachán has been working in journalism for fifteen years, both in the media and in institutional press offices, and has studied a Master’s in TV Scriptwriting, another in Creative Writing and a Writing course with the School of Writers. She has been writing fiction since she was eight, although she did not start publishing until she was 40.
