Settler and Creole Reenactment
My favourite ever example of fin de siècle literature, superior in my mind to Wilde, Firbank, Machen, even Saki...
'Enoch Soames' is probably the best pact-with-the-devil story ever written; 'Hilary Maltby and Stephen Braxton' is perhaps the best ghost story ever written, certainly the best involving bicycles; and 'Savonarola Brown' is the funniest and most accurate parody of a pseudo-Shakespeare play ever attempted...
The other stories are rather good too... 'A.V Laider' was the only minor disappointment; I was expecting the 'twist' ending to be more surprising than it was. But even so, the utter excellence of the whole is not marred.
I have read 'Enoch Soames' at least 4 times in different anthologies but this is the first time I have read the other stories.
This book was metafictional and postmodern before 'metafiction' and 'postmodernism' were even workable concepts. A delight and a privilege to read; and I am delighted and privileged to have just read it!
