Queer Impressions: Henry James's Art Of Fiction
I bought this for Gore Vidal's name. The book has nuggets of interest but as I was reading I had the feeling of padding. Words piled on words to fill space, ten where Gore would have used one. Having read a number of Vidal's books in recent weeks, the contrast between his clean, easy to read prose no matter how dense the information he is purveying and this attempt at erudite writing is clear. Frankly, large sections bored me as I struggled to wade through the molasses to the nuggets that were the actual point of the exercise.
