Review:

From Kipling to Huxley, Conrad through Greene, this collection covered a broad cross-section of early 20th century British short fiction.

Wow. Lots of casual, routine racism.

All of these stories were excellent. None very happy, some downright depressing.

I didn’t “get” all of them, but maybe nobody does, stories hit or miss with each individual.

A piece of drollery which I appreciated very much from Oscar Wilde:

“Although I am notorious for my gay ways, at least I’m not a faggot like Brant.”
