A dramatic trip into the world of Henry James; Author, Author by David Lodge (Secker, [pounds sterling]16.99).

Byline: DJ TAYLOR

IT IS not David Lodge's fault that the subject of this, his 13th novel, should seem rather familiar. Ten years ago most aspiring English novelists wanted to be Martin Amis. Now for some reason they all want to be Henry James, and the results lie littered all over the bookshop shelves.

Of the adornments of this year's Man Booker long list, for example, one - Colm Toibin's The Master - is about James, while another - Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty - wears his influence like a regimental crest.
