King Basil | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

1911. Canadian clergyman turned writer, Basil King (author of The Inner Shrine) produced his first noteworthy novel at the age of 50. He believed in spiritualism and claimed that a spirit personality guided his writing. The Street Called Straight, his best-selling dramatic story of present day American life begins: As a matter of fact, Davenant was under no illusions concerning the quality of the welcome his hostess was according him, though he found a certain pleasure in being once more in her company. It was not a keen pleasure, but neither was it an embarrassing one; it was exactly what he supposed it would be in case they ever meet again-a blending on his part of curiosity, admiration, and reminiscent suffering out of which time and experience had taken the sting.
