To quote myself: "If the painting moves or appears in your dreams, it is generally advised that you relocate. Immediately." (Moving photographs should also be avoided at all costs.)

That Atherton story is something. If I were Henry James, I wouldn't have been pleased to recognize myself in it. The NYT review of the time identifies him, as who could not, but doesn't seem to notice that the story makes him out a sexual creep.
