![]() ![]() His previous novel, In a Strange Room, consisted of a sequence of three narratives featuring a solitary man called Damon pursuing companionship and love across countries and continents. It is a project to which Galgut, whose fiction has often covered the terrain of love, race and politics, seems perfectly suited as a writer. Nor could he have foreseen the resurrection of his title, more than a century later, in the hands of the South African writer Damon Galgut, who uses it, in clear homage and affection, for his own novel about Forster's stasis and transformation during those years. But Arctic Summer would never be finished, its mysterious, moody title evoking instead the uncertainties about writing, sexuality, relationships and empire that racked Forster's life, especially during the long stretch between Howards End and A Passage to India.įorster could not, of course, have known the fate of his unfinished novel when he began writing it. His novel Maurice, written between 19, about love between men in a repressed, homophobic England, would come out posthumously. ![]() He would go on to publish Howards End in 1910, and 14 years later, A Passage to India. ![]() E M Forster began the novel he called Arctic Summer in 1909, on the heels of three others that had brought him considerable renown as a writer. ![]()

It shows that the "modern" world really has not changed very much in regards to the demands put on women to look and act a certain way to be regarded as attractive. I had no idea of the extent that corsets were damaging to the body and health of a woman, and it really explains much of the female behavior that has been epitomized in Hollywood's classic films, such as the common fainting spells. I knew next to nothing about New York City's gilded age before reading this book, so this was both a history lesson and an eye-opener to the practices of that time period, expecially among the wealthy young women. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, Amy currently resides in Houston.
