If you’re looking for forthright or direct, you came to the wrong author. But It’s usually the first Henry James people read because it’s a ghost story and not super long but it’s very much Late period James - at this point he was dictating his fiction to a secretary and you can really tell. One loses the feeling of a sentence or a phrase. Ever read Heart of Darkness? Be curious what you’d think.
Dorian Grey is a masterpiece. Highly recommend it.
Do you mean The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde? I’ve read it, it was somewhat interesting, but I didn’t love it personally.
@@RelishBooks Yes, that's what I meant. I've always felt a connection between Turn of the Screw and Dorian Grey, and my wires got crossed up.😅

I actually have Heart of Darkness checked out to start next week 😊
@@RelishBooks great! Get ready for some ambiguity! It’s a masterpiece but not an easy read.
