There is nothing here that is not thoroughly familiar, from literature and… well, if not from life as such, then perhaps from the habits of remembering one falls into as one grows. Adolphe, by Benjamin Constant. My question, obviously, boils down to two things: what is the nature of the coherence or affinity between narrative and seduction? And to what extent is the tendency towards seduction a male trait? The Haunted Bookshop, by Christopher Morley.
May Day, by F Scott Fitzgerald. There is also — and this is something I shall store in my back pocket for creative writing classes — an utterly beautiful and exemplary use of the semi-colon.

To apply the absolutely lowest test of literary worth, none of the sentences made me want to read the next sentence. The Devil, by Leo Tolstoy. Is this that novella?

The Alienist, by Machado de Assis. Sometimes, at this distance in time, we can only stand and stare. This is a very modern tale, and an utterly alien one, both. Definition of a novella: small enough to be taken in as a unified whole; big enough to make you stand and stare. Which leaves us a bit of a gap. If you asked me for the French modernes I most enjoyed, and felt affected by, I would jump to the early Twentieth Century and say Apollinaire and Cendrars.
