A Small Boy and Others

by Henry James

2019 · Good Press

In "A Small Boy and Others," Henry James crafts a richly introspective memoir that navigates the formative years of his youth in the late 19th century. With his signature psychological depth, James employs a reflective narrative style that seamlessly blends memory and analysis, revealing both the innocence and the complexity of a young boy'Äôs perception of the world. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America and Europe, the text offers keen observations on familial relationships, the interplay of culture, and the burgeoning self-awareness that accompanies childhood experiences. Henry James, an eminent figure in American literature, is known for his explorations of consciousness and social dynamics. Born into a progressive, intellectually engaged family, his upbringing in both America and Europe informed his nuanced view of cultural contrasts. These life experiences and his distinctive transatlantic sensibility are vividly encapsulated in this memoir, which reflects on the very roots of the artistic preoccupations that later characterized his fiction. Readers seeking a profound exploration of the complexities of childhood and identity will find "A Small Boy and Others" a compelling read. James's lyrical prose and insightful observations resonate not only with those interested in literary memoirs but also with anyone reflecting on their own formative experiences, making this a timeless and relatable work.

(Limelight). As this book explores the upbringing of James Earl Jones so does it discover his beginnings as an actor. As Jones delves deeply into his memory, so we venture deep into the rural south of his origins and early life, deep into his turbulent family history, and deep into the roles he's played both on the stage and on screens large and small. In the new epilogue that concludes this edition, Jones now in his seventies remembers the personal and professional events of the decade since the book's original publication.
