On the road from Faust to Mengele

Rappaccini's Daughter

Reading Nathaniel Hawthorne.

By the way, here as elsewhere, but so far especially here, N's prose puts me in mind, somewhat, of the writing in the novels of Henry James that I read twenty or thirty years ago.

Very nice stuff.

Well, here and there.

Deplorable ending.

Trite, repugnant, canned.
