About
The greater the windbag the greater the calamity.
Henry James examines one of his favorite topics—the artist's place in society—by profiling a “genius” who just can't seem to support himself. A dazzling intellectual and brilliant speaker, Mr. Saltram has become the most sought-after houseguest in England. But, as his intellectual labors slacken, it becomes harder and harder to get him to leave.
A wry, edgy comedy about the fine line between making art...and freeloading. “The Coxon Fund” shows off a gift that is rarely appreciated about Henry James: he can be wickedly funny.
