FORSTER E M THE LIFE TO COME

A searing collection of E. M. Forster's short stories about forbidden sexuality and desire   
'Madness  isn't it? What can it matter to anyone else if you and I don't mind?'   Exploratory 
experimental and pioneering  the short stories collected in this volume show E. M. Forster
writing about love between men with sensitivity  honesty  anger and humour. Written between
1903 and 1958  only two of the fourteen stories here appeared in print in Forster's lifetime 
most remained unpublished while homosexuality was a crime. They range from light-hearted 
satirical pieces to moving  highly charged depictions of desire and shared intimacy - a
Christian missionary tormented by longing in 'The Life to Come'  a fateful woodland encounter
in 'Arthur Snatchfold'  an illicit affair between a young English officer and his Indian friend
in 'The Other Boat' - and explore the gap between private and public selves  and the places
where love  class  race and sexuality collide.  Edited by Oliver Stallybrass With an
Introduction by Diarmuid Hester
