A young journalist sent to interview the long-neglected novelist Neil Paraday falls under his spell and resolves to protect him. But fame arrives all at once, and a society hostess carries Paraday off to her country house to be shown to her guests, while the manuscript of his new book passes from hand to hand.

A sharp, funny novella about celebrity and the literary life, ideal as an introduction to Henry James. Download the free EPUB.
