Hugh Walpole recommends
The Purple Cloud (1901) M P Shiel "A flaming genius! At his best he is not to be touched, because there is no one else like him." |  Thunder on the Left (1925) Christopher Morley "It is personal to every reader, it will become for every one a reflection of himself. I fancy that here, as always where work is fine and true, the author has created something not as he would but as he must, and here an interpreter of a world more wonderful than he himself knows." |
