Starred Booklist What Toibin has so boldly done -- and so brilliantly and successfully -- is forge a sympathetic imagining of James' interior life....Even the reader who knows little about Henry James or his work can enjoy this marvelously intelligent and engaging novel, which presents not on a silver platter but in tender, opened hands a beautifully nuanced psychological portrait., The Observer A sympathetic and triumphant novel of startling excellence...The Masteris a portrait of Henry James that has the depth and finish of great sculpture., The Observer A sympathetic and triumphant novel of startling excellence...The Master is a portrait of Henry James that has the depth and finish of great sculpture., "A deep, lovely, and enthralling book that engages with the disquiet and drama of a famous writing life." -- Shirley Hazzard, author of The Great Fire, Shirley Hazzardthe National Book Award-winning author ofThe Great FireA deep, lovely, and enthralling book that engages with the disquiet and drama of a famous writing life: splendidly conceived and composed by a writer who is himself a master of his art., Edmund Whiteauthor of A Boy's Own Story and The Flaneur Henry James, the greatest observer we have, is now made to observe himself in this meditation that is, oddly, both Olympian and troubled. Colm Toibin has a perfect understanding of the greatest of all American writers and accompanies him to Rome, Newport, Paris, Venice, the London of Oscar Wilde. Nothing about this book, however, feels piecemeal or improvised; it is a sustained performance worthy of the Master., Reynolds Price author of Kate Vaiden With the uncanny power of a bright light shone through a broad strong hand, Colm Toibin illumines the life and work of Henry James. I can think of no other fictional portrait of a great writer -- and the writer's whole distinguished family -- which is steadily compelling as an eloquent story and is also a genuine contribution to literary understanding., Sunday Times Review Toibin's enthralling novel displays -- in a manner that is masterly -- the wit and metaphorical flair, psychological subtlety and phrases of pouncing incisiveness with which a great novelist captured the nuances of consciousness and duplicities of society., "Tóibín takes us almost shockingly close to the mystery of art itself. A remarkable, utterly original book." -- Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours, "The work of a first-rate novelist artful, moving and very beautiful."--The New York Times Book Review, Shirley Hazzardthe National Book Award-winning author ofThe Great Fire A deep, lovely, and enthralling book that engages with the disquiet and drama of a famous writing life: splendidly conceived and composed by a writer who is himself a master of his art., "Toibin takes us almost shockingly close to the mystery of art itself. A remarkable, utterly original book." -- Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours, "A gorgeous portrait of a complex and passionate man." -- Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran, "The work of a first-rate novelist artful, moving and very beautiful." -- The New York Times Book Review, Like Michael Cunningham author of The Hours, in The Master, Colm Toibin takes us almost shockingly close to the soul of Henry James and, by extension, to the mystery of art itself. It is a remarkable, utterly original book., Edmund White author of A Boy's Own Story and The Flaneur Henry James, the greatest observer we have, is now made to observe himself in this meditation that is, oddly, both Olympian and troubled. Colm Toibin has a perfect understanding of the greatest of all American writers and accompanies him to Rome, Newport, Paris, Venice, the London of Oscar Wilde. Nothing about this book, however, feels piecemeal or improvised; it is a sustained performance worthy of the Master., "Toibin takes us almost shockingly close to the mystery of art itself.
