James!

It’s interesting to notice that James’ The Aspern Papers actually works off the same mechanism as The Turn of the Screw – the obsessive narrator and literary detective, who thinks he is so valiantly pursuing truth and the papers themselves, hears what he wants to hear, distorts and twists everything, pushes every conversation away from what it meant to say into something that answers his obsession….

Nota bene: it is hard to read James in airports. High noise levels and complex sentences don't mix well.
