Unusual James

This is a great tale from James' middle period. It's also, from my experience of James (Portrait, Wings of the Dove, and about a dozen short novels and stories), not what I expect from him. The family of the eponymous pupil is a great grotesque creation, comic and unfortunate, and the child himself is vividly drawn. Enjoy.
