Starting small on this one “Turn of the Screw” :) Its starting off to be kind of scary. 5 years ago

I Love Henry James, I hate movie adaptations of his work, and I especially hate when they star Nicole Kidman. I loved Washington Square though, they got that pretty right… 6 years ago

I’ve read ‘The Wings of the Dove’ and ‘The Turn of the Screw’ and loved them both. He has what a writing teacher of mine calls a typically feminine style (having nothing to do with the gender of the author). It’s long and expressive. Great work. 7 years ago

begun in a tent by lantern light on a vacation filled with intense friendships and lots of beer. Not the best setting for beginning a book with 2 forwards and an introduction, but a memorable one. So far I’ve read a lot of biography of James which was an education in itself, but not much of James’s own words. More to come. 7 years ago

Penguin classics that is. “The Ambassadors” and “The Portrait of a Lady.” I know these are the most popular of James’s work but figured I ought to start somewhere. I have a full schedule of reading ahead as I’ve got Michael Cunningham’s “Specimen Days” waiting as well. 7 years ago
