Title: The Papers Author: Henry James Narrator: Nicholas Clifford Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 57 minutes Release date: January 1, 2015 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Today the world is awash with "celebrities" whose only accomplishment is being celebrated by the media in all its various forms. Henry James, of course, long pre-dates the multiplicity of media in today's world, when the press was the main source of adulation, and he was famously averse to giving newspaper interviews himself. For those interested in the sources of celebrity worship, however, his story, "The Papers," showing how two aspiring London journalists worked with those who were famous simply for being famous, helps to give some idea of how such worship was practiced a century ago. (Nicholas Clifford)
