Boyesen. I am going to ask you one of the interviewer’s stock questions, but you need not answer, you know: Which of your books do you regard as the greatest?
Howells. I have always taken the most satisfaction in “A Modern Instance.” I have there come closest to American life as I know it.
Boyesen. But in “Silas Lapham” it seems to me that you have got a still firmer grip on American reality.
Howells. Perhaps. Still I prefer “A Modern Instance.” “Silas Lapham” is the most successful novel I have published, except “A Hazard of New Fortunes,” which has sold nearly twice as many copies as any of the rest.
