Turning the Screws

These days I seem to be lost in Henry James land. I made the mistake of proposing to write a conference paper on _The Turn of the Screw_. It's a great story--about children and ghosts and a nutty governess. But I think every academic in the history of the world has written an essay about this story. There are literally hundreds of articles on the text. I think it's almost to the point where the critics just talk about other critics instead of talking about the story! The story is such fun, though and the conference is in Montreal. Yay! Back to Canada!
