In WAYR?, I note what I’m reading and comment...you note what you are reading and comment. Occasionally, I may add a section or a link related to books…resting up from Netroots now...did a minimal amount of reading. (Note: I scheduled for PM instead of AM. My apologies! CK)
I am reading:
The Master by Colm Tóibín- Didn’t read much of this but I did read through the part where Constance Fenimore Woolson died. Tóibín seems to be committed to the idea that Woolson committed suicide but, in real life, that’s less certain as is what she may have wanted her relationship with Henry James to be.
He had become like the Eternal City itself: he was dented by history, he had responsibilities and layers of memory, he was watched and studied and much in demand. And now he would have to show himself in public. Just as the streets of the old city were cleaner and better lit, he, too, would put on a brave face, cover up old wounds and erase old scars and appear at the correct time, attempting neither to disappoint those who viewed him nor to give too much of his own secret history away.
