A Small Boy and Others
By Henry James
First published in 1913, A Small Boy and Others is Henry James's deeply introspective and richly textured memoir of his early years. Written with the same refined complexity and psychological acuity that marks his fiction, the book explores James's childhood in New York, his family life, and his intellectual awakening. Through the persona of "the small boy," James meditates on the formation of his artistic sensibility, his feelings of otherness, and his emerging awareness of the world's aesthetic and emotional dimensions.
Rather than offering a linear account of his early life, James weaves a reflective, often elliptical narrative that delves into the impressions, encounters, and inner states that shaped his development as a writer and observer of human experience. The memoir stands as a landmark of literary autobiography—a study not only of youth but of the elusive nature of memory and identity.
