LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Henry James's private life
Byline: International Herald Tribune
Edition: 1
Section: OPINION

Regarding your book review "In search of the real Henry James" (Dec. 22) Why on earth is there all this fuss over the sexual relations of Henry James? Surely it's creative work that counts, not private predilections? Should we care whether he held a fork in his left or right hand?
