		<title>What I&#8217;ve Been Reading (Other than Henry James)</title>

I live in France, and there was a lot of to-do about the 50th anniversary of Albert Camus&#8217; death, which was on January 4th. Camus was a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Post is reporting that author Louis Auchincloss has died at age 92. I&#8217;ve never read his fiction, but he is the author of a slim book, Reading Henry James, which is a sort of reader&#8217;s guide to the fiction of James.

		<title>Henry James Does Not Win Nobel Prize for Literature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Nobel Prize for literature was today awarded to Herta Müller, a Romanian-born German author &#8220;who, with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed.&#8221; I must admit to never having read her work. Yet again, Henry James was ignored, and was not awarded the prize, which he [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Difference Between Books and Movies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s an age-old debate: was the movie as good as the book? It&#8217;s safe to say that with movies adapted from Henry James novels, the book is always better; unless you haven&#8217;t read the book. And since most people haven&#8217;t read Henry James, they content themselves with the movies to get an understanding of his [...]]]></description>
