'There Bennett worked on his novel, read Dreiser and Balzac, . . .'
'I think "The Genius" is a pretty good book.'
'And I have read Dreiser?s "The Financier", which I could never get hold of till the other day. This book, despite its dreadful slovenliness in details of phrase, is an extremely remarkable affair indeed. It gave me intense pleasure. This is praise. I wish I knew Dreiser intimately. Wells?s new novel is very fine.'
