The Reverberator
Henry James
Book Overview:
Another Jamesian look at Americans in Paris. What happens when a reporter for an American scandal sheet (The Reverberator) is looking for a good story, though one which might interfere with the marriage plans of a young American woman in the City of Light? This book has been described as "a delicious Parisian bonbon," and its generally good humor stands in contrast with some of the writer's other work

"She seemed to be doing nothing as hard as she could." I feel as though, of this whole book, this is the quote which most accurately epitomizes the essence of what I've just read. A lot of nothing going on, to be sure. In fact, the story was unrelentingly snail-like in it's progression; it doesn't r
This proves that Henry James had a sense of humour if your standards of evidence are really low. I liked it a lot but now I look back on my Henry James years as a kind of affliction, perhaps like reformed dopeheads might glance back wistfully at their marijuana years. And there is, come to think of
The title refers to an American newspaper, not a coveted sex toy. A major character, George Flack, pushy, funsy fella in Europe, rollicks the plot by sending a gossipy "Abroad" col home about some Americans in Paris, c 1888. Henry James frowned upon the Press and its vulgar excuse to "Get a story" -
Not exactly outstanding but certainly a must-read in my daring attempt to gain a basic English literary culture. All in all it is a very predictable, slow moving, psychology-driven, Anna Karenina-style high society novel, whose piquant come mainly from what seems to be James' trademark, the descript
A quick, concise and generally lighthearted satirical novel from an author who has a reputation for being anything but those things.

Henry James and the Scandal Sheet: A Review of The Reverberator (1888), revised 1908
Readers of James have not shown as much interest in this short novel as in many of his other works of fiction. Mistakenly regarded as a comparatively lightweight performance, The Reverberator nevertheless deals for
"Echo" to zabawna i zdecydowanie zbyt krótka opowieść o uroczej Amerykance, dwóch pretendentach do jej ręki i intrydze tkanej grubymi nićmi. Nie brakuje tutaj piekielnych knowań ambitnego dziennikarza, misternych planów starszej siostry, drobnych oszustw zakochanego młodzieńca i manipulacji prawdziw
Henry James takes on the 19th century paparazzi in this relatively breezy and straightforward (remember, it *is* Henry James) tale. The usual suspects are gathered by Hank: innocent American girl, rich American father, old European society family, and modern villain upsetting everybody.
The villain
This novel is a short retread of territory James had already covered (partially) in _The American_ and _The Europeans_ a decade before this work's publication. The tone is more in a comic register (which, more often than not, is something that James could not really handle well), and concerns the at
