The detective who solved crimes not by reading clues but by reading souls. The most radical inversion of Sherlock Holmes ever written — and, a century later, still the strangest and most morally serious detective fiction in the English language.

In 1910, G. K. Chesterton introduced a small, round-faced Catholic priest who carried a shabby umbrella and solved crimes by...

Edgar Allan Poe died on October 7, 1849. By October 9, he had already been invented. The obituary published two days after his death — signed "Ludwig," later revealed as Rufus Wilmot Griswold, his literary executor and personal enemy — was not biography. It was preemptive mythology. It described a man of "scant virtues" and "numerous vices," a drunk, a madman, a moral failure whose genius was incidental to his depravity. Within weeks, Griswold had gone further: forging letters, altering texts, inserting fabricated passages into documents Poe had actually written. The archive was ...

"Only connect." Two words that became the most famous imperative in English fiction — and the one its author spent three novels proving was impossible. E.M. Forster published five novels in nineteen years. Then he stopped. He was forty-five years old, at the height of his powers, and he never published another novel again. He lived for forty-six more years in silence. The five novels he left behind — especially the three collected here — are among the most penetrating studies of human connection and disconnection in the English language: what it means to reach across the divisions of ...
