Thank you. I’ve not read any Henry James, and you have convinced me that I should. So I will archive this piece and add James to the list of ‘Authors I must read while I can.’

I hope he brings you some of the pleasure he's brought me! I definitely recommend some of the most famous short stories if time is of the essence.

To be fair, time is no longer an issue, now that I’m privileged enough to enjoy the retired life!

still continuing with my attempt at Capote's complete works, but have just bought Daisy Miller & Turn Of The Screw as a neat, finely-presented pair. also, if you have any advice on where to start with Flaubert...

Hope you enjoy. Flaubert I'd definitely read the 'Trois contes' first, specifically 'A Simple Heart'.

There's a film of it too; Quentin Tarantino rates it very highly.
