The Life to Come: and other Stories

Representing every phase of E. M. Forster’s career as a writer, the fourteen stories in this book span six decades – from 1903-1957 or even later. Only two were published in his lifetime. Most of the remaining stories remained unpublished because of their overtly homosexual themes; instead they were shown to an appreciative circle of friends and fellow writers, including Christopher Isherwood, Siegfried Sassoon, Lytton Strachey and T. E. Lawrence. The stories differ widely in mood and setting. One is a cheerful political satire; another has, most unusually for Forster, a historical setting; others give serious and powerful expression to some of Forster’s profoundest concerns. They are given full expression in this imaginative and even witty recording by Mark Elstob.
