Description
Henry James anticipates the opening of his first play, Guy Domville, in London. The production fails, and he returns, chastened and humiliated, to his writing desk. This is the pivotal moment that sets in motion a string of masterpieces, but also exacts a high personal cost. The Master is a powerful account of the hazards of prioritising the life of the mind over the demands of the heart. Colm Tóibín's nuanced exploration of James's inner world reveals a man who was both astonishingly vibrant in his art and tragically unsuccessful in his personal relationships. Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature, The Master offers a profound and deeply human portrayal of a complex and conflicted individual.
