The Man of Property
You know how sometimes you know something, but you have difficulty putting it into words? The concepts exist in your mind somewhere beneath the level where they can be easily told and explained. Well, somehow John Galsworthy insinuated himself into my head and implanted this picture of upper middle-class London that was never there previously. I'd never really thought about the demise of this group of people before, and yet they exist fully-formed in my mind. This, this is the triumph of show not tell! I couldn't give you one particular sentence or paragraph in which the nature of any one of these perfectly conceived characters became clear to me, yet I feel as if I know them as well as my own family.
