Life to Come And Other Short Stories

"There are flaws in these stories, and they show; but they are never flaws of feeling. Herein lies their relationship with Forster's other stories....It will be sad if the aspect of homosexuality, which kept Forster's stories from reaching print in his own day, turns out to be their only focus of interest for today's readers....Have we been as ready for Forster's honesty as we thought we were? [His] greatness surely had root in his capacity to treat all human relationships seriously and truthfully....And of course, the best realized of the homosexual stories dovetail perfectly into the best of all his work. Even the earliest and most ephemeral of them will be recognized as the frailer embodiments of the same passionate convictions that made for the moral iron in his novels."Forster, E. M. is the author of 'Life to Come And Other Short Stories' with ISBN 9780393304428 and ISBN 0393304426.
