Letter from E.M. Forster to Xiao Qian ; 25 Nov. 1943.
Forster had urged Xiao to turn his attention to James Joyce : "never has so much been talked of a person whom so few understand". Xiao himself noted that his copy of Ulysses was nearly black with the notes of meanings of words marked in 1940. He wrote to Forster that he felt the great achievement of Joyce who reconciled "two heterogeneous elements in writing : free flow (of consciousness) and external shape".
