The Longest Journey

Trilling described THE LONGEST JOURNEY as perhaps the most brilliant, the most dramatic, and the most passionate of E.M. Forster’s works. Certainly it’s the most autobiographical – but its form confuses many. Full of sudden death, hopeless love, and quaintly doomed relationships – and yet for all that, it’s an enormously engaging work. It was Forster’s own favorite of his works; he felt that in Stephen he had created a living being.
