William James has some serious issues with brother Henry James’ writing
I initially set out to record Henry James’ somewhat condescending response to Walter Besant’s very pretentious essay “The Art of Fiction”…
Until I discovered the letter from Henry James’ older brother, and renowned psychologist/philosopher, William James, where he tells Henry exactly how he feels about Henry’s latest release “The American Scene.”
Spoiler alert: It’s definitely not a 5-star review…
Being the father of two sons, I know how brothers can be not only brutally frank and painfully honest to one another, but also highly competitive and a bit boastful as well.
The older brother’s letter to the younger encompasses all that and more.

Better yet, how about reading and reviewing my latest novel?
