Master

"If Leon Edel's five-volume life of Henry James is the literary equivalent of a vast but perfectly articulated symphony, this novel can best be described as a series of brilliant tudes based on themes derived from it....Tibn is remarkably successful in conveying the two most important facts about James. First, here was a writer totally dedicated to his art. Second, here was a writer who...brought to his depiction of human travails and torments a psychological understanding unsurpassed by any of his contemporaries."Tóibín, Colm is the author of 'Master', published 2005 under ISBN 9780743250412 and ISBN 0743250419.
