"A Bundle of Letters" is a comic short story by Henry James, originally published in The Parisian magazine in 1878, which is also when the story takes place. The story is one of James' few ventures into epistolary fiction. As he did so often, especially in the early stages of his career, James made the tale part of his international theme his letter-writers represent a number of different countries. Although some of the characters look like well-worn stereotypes — the wolfish Frenchman, the pedantic and aggressively nationalistic German, the snobbish upper-class English siblings — James manages to endow most of them with enough twists and turns of personality to interest the reader. One character has even been taken as a sly satire on himself.

The letters in the title refer to the letters that guests write home from a Paris Frenchwomen's boarding home, expressing opinions on the other guests in the house. The characters in this small book are: a single New Enlgand young lady travelling alone, an American mother and daughter, a British brother and sister, a German doctor and the French cousin of the owner of the house. Very perceptive and on the mark. Great read if you are interested on how cultural prejudices affect our view on virtually the same people.Product details

A Bundle of Letters Annotated edition by Henry James Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Certain books never get old and can be read again and again. This is one of them!
Even though I had already read and disliked "A Portrait of a Lady", I decided to give James another try. Disappointing. There is absolutely no plot, nothing happens, no comedy, no romance. I only finished it since I wanted to grow my read pile and reach my goal, and it is a really short epistolary novel. I wouldn't recommend this at all.
