BONUS NUMBER 31: E.M. FORSTER
(Did You Sleep With the Models?)
Charles Harmon Cagle, in this excellent Mandate essay, sums up the life of E.M. Forster with sympathy and evaluates the career with astuteness. Those who know Forster’s novels, and the films based on them, will understand more fully after reading these pages why Forster didn’t reach the first rank of British writers — and also why second place in life and literature was not undesirable for a man who might have fared much worse.
