內容簡(jiǎn)介:Henry James led a wandering life， which took him far from his native shores， but he continued to think of New York City， where his family had settled for several years during his childhood， as his hometown. Here Colm Tóibín， the author of the Man Booker Prize–shortlisted novel
The Master， a portrait of Henry James， brings together for the first time all the stories that James set in New York City. Written over the course of James's career and ranging from the deliciously tart comedy of the early "An International Episode" to the surreal and haunted corridors of "The Jolly Corner，" and including "Washington Square"， the poignant novella considered by many (though not， as it happens， by the author himself) to be one of James's finest achievements， the nine fictions gathered here reflect James's varied talents and interests as well as the deep and abiding preoccupations of his imagination. And throughout the book， as Tóibín's fascinating introduction demonstrates， we see James struggling to make sense of a city in whose rapidly changing outlines he discerned both much that he remembered and held dear as well as everything about America and its future that he dreaded most.
Stories included：
The Story of a Masterpiece
A Most Extraordinary Case
Crawford's Consistency
An International Episode
The Impressions of a Cousin
The Jolly Corner
Washington Square
Crapy Cornelia
A Round of Visits
