The Figure in the Carpet - Henry James

The Figure in the Carpet by Henry James

The Figure in the Carpet is a subtle and unsettling tale of literary obsession. Henry James explores an unresolved mystery at the heart of an author’s work, probing what he called a “troubled artistic consciousness.” As critics and readers search for a hidden meaning that may—or may not—exist, the story becomes a meditation on art, interpretation, and obsession itself.
