Shortlisted for the Booker Prize for his novel about James's life, \u003ci\u003eThe Master\u003c\/i\u003e, Tb匤 brilliantly analyzes James from a novelist's point of view.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnown for his acuity and originality, Tb匤 is himself a master of fiction and critical works, which makes this collection of his writings on Henry James essential reading for literary critics. But he also writes for general readers. Until now, these writings have been scattered in introductions, essays in the \u003ci\u003eDublin Times\u003c\/i\u003e, reviews in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, and other disparate venues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith humor and verve, Tb匤 approaches Henry James's life and work in many and various ways. He reveals a novelist haunted by George Eliot and shows how thoroughly James was a New Yorker. He demonstrates how a new edition of Henry James's letters along with a biography of James's sister-in-law alter and enlarge our understanding of the master. His \"Afterword\" is a fictional meditation on the written and the unwritten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTb匤's remarkable insights provide scholars, students, and general readers a fresh encounter with James's well-known texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colm Tb匤\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801897793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801897795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.50w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 262","brand":"Colm Tb匤","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079364964607,"sku":"9780801897795","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad9a8aa7-9447-4bb0-bead-2bcdb86937f0.jpg?v=1685480719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/all-a-novelist-needs-colm-t-ibn-9780801897795","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
