/lit/ - Literature

We had two nice Henry James threads a few weeks back with some insightful discussions. Always great to see /lit/ appreciate some authors outside the usual memes. Those threads made me realize how divisive James is and how much he triggers brainlets that solely read for plot. Pic related especially had people seething because of the supposed lack of plot and clear motivation. I don't even think James is that much worse in this regard compared to other 19th century novelists and most of his short stories are pretty plot-driven.
I want to get into his later novels soon. Is The Golden Bowl a good starting point?
