Small Boy and Others

"The book actually functions as a double narrative, telling both the story of what happened and the story of remembering it....James recaptures a very old New York....To read his narrative of growing up on Fourteenth Street and Sixth Avenue...is vastly amusing. And his characters are vivid and often very funny....The writing style is typical of the very late James....Such writing, at once exhilarating in its sheer multiplicity and artistry and stimulating in its depth and profundity, has many virtues attached to it, and yet it is also...rather irritating....James, Henry is the author of 'Small Boy and Others' with ISBN 9781885586186 and ISBN 1885586183.
