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 become sharper and harder to get him to leave. A wry, edgy comedy about the fine line between making art...and freeloading.
