Also, his pre-modernist novels are incredible. The Turn of The Screw is one of those books that has stuck with me since I read it. Highly recommend.

- rusk 9y agoYou sure this is the same guy? It's available on Project Gutenberg [0] but the attribution is a "Henry" James ... [0] http://www.gutenberg.org/files/209/209-h/209-h.htm http://www.gutenberg.org/files/209/209-h/209-h.htm
- wellpast 9y agoHenry is William’s brother. I’ve heard the James’s called “a family of geniuses.”
- ashark 9y agoYeah, Henry James is the novelist. William's brother. I'd call his output... mixed, but much of it's really good. Big fan of Washington Square, myself. Probably better to approach shorter novella-ish works like that, and his actual short stories (there are lots) first, and work your way up to the novels (there are also lots of those). Do not start with Daisy Miller. It's among his most famous and widely-read, but just don't.
