In these sketches Max Beerholm mixes faux memoir with wild fantasy to lampoon the affections of the fin de siecle London literary scene. From Enoch Soames, the poet who makesa pact with the devil to the macabre tale of literary feuders, Maltby and Braxton.
The tales that make up "Seven Men and Two Others" start out as a set of "faux" memoirs set amid London literary life in the precious fin de siecle era and proceed into deliciously absurd fantasy. With a sense of fun, a hint of nostalgia, razor-sharp satire, and pitch-perfect parody, Beerbohm tugs at the affected nature of the whole literary scene--lamentable authors, wily agents, and preposterous weekend salons.
