Reading Experience:

Evidence:

‘Sorry I forgot to mail you my opinion of Israel Zangwill. I admire him enormously and like him about as much. He reminds me often of the author of Revelations in his outbursts of revolting sensuousness … varied occasionally by really beautiful passages, but he is far more witty than St. John the Divine. Dreamers of the Ghetto is his best.’
