To Novelists - and a Novelist

Title

To Novelists - and a Novelist

Description

  • The history of a human life is a strange thing. It is also a somewhat serious thing-to the individual: who often feels himself, or appears to others, not unlike the elder-pith figure of an electrical experimentor-vibrating ridiculously and helplessly between influences alike invisible and incomprehensible. What is Life-and what is the heart of its mystery?
