Author, Author : A Novel / David Lodge. - London : Penguin Books, 2005. - 389 stron ; 20 cm.
Henry James takes center stage in this brilliant story about literary ambition, creativity, and rivalry as revealed in the public career and private life of this most singular writer.
Framed by a moving and dramatic account of his last illness, "Author..." opens in the early 1880s, describing James's close friendship with an illustrator named George du Maurier and his intimate but problematic relationship with fellow American novelist Constance Fenimore Woolson.
At the end of the decade, Henry, worried by the failure of his books to sell, resolves to achieve fame and fortune as a playwright, while du Maurier diversifies into writing novels.
