The Bostonians (Oxford World's Classics)

Rating:
Summary: excellent read
Review: Memorable duel of wills between 2 stubborn forces in control of a pliable public speaker... One of James' stonger pieces; every word counts so read them carefully. His narration is stuffed with swirling ideas, pinpoint social commentary and sly asides; all floating inside his trademark beautiful prose. Olive versus Basil: there's a literary wrestling match for the ages. Great stuff
