PatC (jpatrickc) | 1 comments The person was complaining that (in "Turn of the Screw") James is too wordy. This is the most common complaint about James, especially the later James. I wonder if the folks in this little group have thoughts about that? When I hear that wordy-complaint, I want to say, "Show me a place where he's being too wordy," and then have a chat about what James is actually Doing With Those Words, which is usually something impressive.
