Representing every phase of E. M. Forster's career as a writer, the fourteen stories in this book span six decades? from 1903 to 1957 or even later. Only two were published in his lifetime. Most of the other stories remained unpublished because of their overtly homosexual themes; instead they were shown to an appreciative circle of friends and fellow writers, including Christopher Isherwood, Siegfried Sassoon, Lytton Strachey, and T. E. Lawrence. The stories differ widely in mood and setting. One is a cheerful political satire; another has, most unusually for Forster, a historical setting; others give serious and powerful expression to some of Forster's profoundest concerns.

5,0 su 5 stelle Do NOT dismiss the non-homosexual stories out of hand!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 agosto 2009
Acquisto verificato
There are 4 or 5 of these. I think "Ansell," (1903)--the first story in the book--is one of the best, short as it is. "The Helping Hand" is also very entertaining...though it doesn't leave ripples and waves, like the first one. One would suppose that these stories, (apparently)submitted to publishers and (apparently) rejected)--would be genuinely poor pickins'--but some are really good. Since Forster wasn't interested in heterosexual romance, he intelligently wrote about other things, quirky things, odd happenings, and so on.

And while it's true that most of the homosexual stories are dark, and some very affecting ("Dr. Woolacott," "Arthur Snatchfold," "The Other Boat" "The Life to Come"--why didn't he stop this one after the first part? It would have been so funny!), the hilarious "The Obelisk" is one of my favorite stories ever.

But first, of course, you must read Maurice, A Passage to India, Howards End, and A Room with a View. None of the short stories are as good as his novels.

"I want to love a strong young man of the lower classes and be loved by him and even hurt by him. That is my ticket, and then I have wanted to write respectable novels"....(personal memorandum, 1935)

"I should have been a more famous writer if I had written or rather published more, but sex has prevented the latter." (Diary, 31 December 1964)

4,0 su 5 stelle A Closet With a View
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 24 gennaio 2022
Acquisto verificato
Gay men in Forster's time were basically prisoners in the closet. Several of these stories are accurate portrayals of not so much the life to come, but the restricted, pinched, paranoid, and anxiety-provoking life of gay men as it was in pre-gay-liberation times. These are essentially stories of gay men on the "down low", the VERY down low in fact. It surprises no experienced gay man that class differential predictably enters the picture as the men depicted, similar to the character of Maurice, find their sexual imaginations set most ablaze by men of a lower class, by butch working class lads, gardeners and farm-hands and the like. It seems these superficially respectable men enjoyed their middle or upper class privilege but suffered the suffocating effects of having to be method actors in public. Women were politely relegated to convenient "beards" and the naïve and long-suffering spouses of such men, same as many still are now. Meanwhile, what what really got these men's' mojos rising was the boys considered lower class. I believe these were the men or boys Whitman was attracted to as well in his time. Gay men loved their ritzy trappings, their pompous upper class pretensions, but they preferred ripe pits and rough edges in bed. (Some things never change.) The stories are great, full of little surprises and dry humor and just enough twists to keep it interesting. The title story is a particular delight in its depiction of a powerful leader and die hard romantic whose passion for a man of the cloth is both poignant and erotic. Over and over in the tales one can sense the writer's wearisomeness with the social and moral restraints of his time. Only once does Forster indulge in the typical tragic ending which was requisite if one even wanted to write a story about gay men in those times: the story must end with someone either being murdered or committing suicide. However, to his credit, Forster proved himself ahead of his time and broke from the mold by writing a beautifully romantic book he never saw published nor saw in movie theaters after it became an excellent feature length movie called "Maurice". What a shame. This entire collection is pretty much the sound of a man banging on the pipes from inside the closet but such banging did no good until the late '60s and the Stonewall uprising, setting the stage for a gay liberation movement in full throttle until it was all but paralyzed by... a virus. Now this movement seems progressively buried in the sea of assimilation and swallowed by the ubiquitous superficiality and cheaply entertaining reality show drama of social media. Stereotypes and cartoonish gay characters abound in entertainment but have no doubts: the numbers of out and proud gay men are still seriously overshadowed by the modern closet case method actors and down low creepers. Welcome to the New and Improved Closet of the 2020's in which an openly gay man is superficially accepted by those wishing to present themselves as "politically correct" while casting votes in voting booths that reveal the truth. Forster would be dismayed but hardly surprised. I recommend this collection to those who wish to experience the writing of a wonderful author bound and muzzled and socially repressed just as all gay men were at that time. His work lives on against all odds.

4,0 su 5 stelle The Life To Come
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 9 dicembre 2012
Acquisto verificato
All unpublished in his lifetime most of the stories in this volume were withheld from publication by E M Forster due to their homosexual subject matter - some are quite slight and most definitely 'entertainments' in the manner of Saki, etc though deftly written. A few don't work - probably as the editor suggested that Forster never worked them up sufficiently to a fully-formed version.

However, there are three stories - 'The Life To Come', 'Arthur Snatchfold' and 'The Other Boat' - that are astonishing creations, tragic, beautiful and such indictments of the distorting pressures of homophobia, imperialism, rigid religious orthodoxies, class and racism. All three at the very least the equal of 'Maurice' and worth the price alone.

It is a shame that the book appears currently out of print.
