INTRODUCED BY RACHEL COOKE
'Virginia Woolf's roving consciousness lies behind the prose in Novel on Yellow Paper , but the tone owes more to Dorothy Parker . . . When first published in 1936, it overnight turned Smith into a celebrity . . . the subversiveness of this novel has never lost its appeal, its greatness lying in its exuberant celebration of the uncircumscribed spirit' - Frances Spalding, Independent
