This short, little-known novel sends a viscous jibe at journalistic malpractice and speaks directly to contemporary issues such as media ethics and celebrity worship. A psychologically incisive and biting story set in 1880s Paris and written in Henry James's most lucid, penetrable prose, The Reverberator distills the well-loved and complex themes of the author's major works while being accessible and a joy to read.

The Reverberator will resonate strongly with Henry James fans, as well as literary fiction lovers.
