The Correction of Taste - The Late Fiction of Henry James

Denis Donoghue

Beschreibung

   'Donoghue was alert to the idea of the unsayable, as he circled around the idea of language itself as pliable material, all the more beautiful for that and worthy of our full consideration, but yielding at times to further levels of mystery...' from foreword by Colm Tóibín   
In this last written work, the internationally renowned Irish literary critic Denis Donoghue brings an acute critical intelligence to bear on the late novels of Henry James. One of the greatest novelists in the English language, Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-British author who is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism.
James's The Portrait of a Lady (1881) was the central achievement of his early period. The Turn of the Screw (1898) was a high-point of Gothic literature. In The Correction of Taste, Denis Donoghue offers a close reading of James's final novels, taking as his starting point an observation by T.S. Eliot about the function of literary criticism. Exploring a succession of works such as The Ambassadors (1903), The Wings of the Dove (1902) and The Golden Bowl (1905), Donoghue brings into sharp focus the complex layers of James's literary genius.

A story about a young and devious lesbian mistress and her older slaves 
At a football game, I tried to get some distraction and go to the bathroom just to freshen myself up a little bit, when I encounter a young woman there shamelessly sitting on the toilet in plain view. Without a word, something about her was drawing me in and before I knew it, I found myself kneeling on the floor between her legs, pleasing her eagerly with my tongue. 
Even though I tried to do my best, I wasn't sure if it was good enough for my younger mistress, but when I finally got my own reward right then and there, it was more than I had ever expected.
