Synopsis
Excerpt from The Reputation of George Saxon, and Other Stories
As I walked Up from the city I thought of his first coherent words on learning that three sudden and unexpected deaths had made him the heir to so much money. He had said, N ow I shall be able to do something, referring of course to those literary aspirations which he and I had found well to conceal in Paternoster Row. Our employers, having dealings with would-be poets, were even more likely than the public to esteem such men fools, and doubtless shared the common opinion which stamps them as idiots until they have made money. Yet now George was free, and in a position to please himself, I sincerely hoped he would also please my critical faculty by consigning his verses to a' well-merited oblivion. Rather unjustly, I doubted his self-dis cernment.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life of George Saxon, a man who inherited a vast fortune and the desire to become a respected literary figure. Despite his wealth, Saxon struggled to find his voice as a writer and resorted to purchasing the works of struggling authors, publishing them under his own name. As Saxon's reputation grew, so did his anxiety about maintaining the illusion. He sought assistance from the author, who was tasked with finding ghostwriters and managing Saxon's literary affairs. The author, torn between his own struggles and the moral implications of helping Saxon, became deeply entangled in a web of deceit. The narrative explores themes of ambition, vanity, and the complexities of artistic integrity, ultimately examining the profound impact of one man's insatiable desire for recognition on both himself and those around him. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333608385_0
