Adam Begley travels to Henry James’s Italy.
Henry James as tour guide? He won’t lead you step by step, waving a pennant so you don’t get lost, but he does show the way. His fine, reverberating consciousness sets off a corresponding reverberation in the sympathetic reader, who can’t help but admire the way Italy liberates an appetite for sensual experience in this most cerebral of authors. – from “Henry James Walked Here,” by Adam Begley, The New York Times
