rating:
recommended for: Kate Bush
Naturally, as a performer and fan of Benjamin Britten's operas, The Turn of the Screw was required reading. Chilling and atmospheric, it's clear why this novella has inspired so many other artists (including Kate Bush - the greatest of them all). The Aspern Papers is kind of not everyone's first novel on their list of favourite Henry James, but it is so bursting with detail and finely tuned characterisations, that I think it should be read more.
