The Year of Henry James: The story of a novel by David Lodge
Has any other writer - after publishing what he thinks is an original slant on a famous author - discovered that two other books are being published on the same subject? It happened to Lodge in 2004. This bombshell inspired him to trace the history of 'Author, Author' from conception to publication, pondering the mystery and anguish of this coincidence or call it 'Zeigeist'. His new book completes and strengthens the former in a remarkable way, exponentially augmenting his artistry.
