E. M. Forster - C or D, s&d, etc.

'eternal moment' appears to be a collection of these, with introduction on how he is "unlikely to attempt anything further along this line"

Rereading The Longest Journey sounds like a good idea.

I read the Galgut novel (solid) in May after rereading Maurice, which seemed more moving and also sillier than my college experience w/it. I did note how Forster does not make Maurice a paragon of sensitivity: he grows up to be Charles Wilcox, a theory helped by James Wilby playing both characters

And the triad he enjoyed with Buckingham and his wife was impressively ahead of its time.

i think there is something in the closed, anal, tight, furled dryness of it
