An impressive new selection of Henry Jamess short stories, edited by Pulitzer Prizenominated James biographer Michael Gorra
This volume gathers seven of the very best of Henry Jamess short stories, all exploring the relationship between art and life. In the title story, The Aspern Papers, a critic is determined to get his hands on a great poets papers hidden in a faded Venetian house--no mater what the human cost. The Author of Beltraffio, The Lesson of the Master, and The Figure in the Carpet all focus on naive young mens unsettling encounters with their literary heroes. In The Middle Years, a dying novelist begins to glimpse his own potential, while The Real Thing and Greville Fane explore the tension between artistic and commercial success. These fables of the creative life reveal James at his ironic, provocative best.
