About this title

Synopsis:

A gripping collection of autobiographical writings from one of America's most supreme novelists, published to mark the 100th anniversary of his death. Not only do these works offer an intimate and extensive glimpse into Henry James the writer, they also allow a look into his infamous family, as well as paint the portrait of an era. Includes: A Small Boy and Others; Notes of a Son and Brother; The Middle Years and a selection of eight other personal reminiscences.

Review:

"For freshness of voice, firmness of purpose (if a firmness always subject to scruples and second thoughts), and general delight on the page, the memoirs are fully alive to the contemporary reader. . . . James's memoirs have a shimmer, a charm, and an openhearted immediacy. . . . They remind us that sophistication of style and sincerity of purpose are still the best of literary brothers." --Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker
