reseñó Raffles de E. W. Hornung (Raffles, #1)

Delightful Inversion

I love the Raffles stories. They're a delightful inversion of the Sherlock Holmes stories, with the gay subtext /nearly/ laid bare. Bunny, the Dr. Watson analog, is absolutely in love with Raffles, and expresses his shame as though it were purely a symptom of their life of crime, but modern readers will see right through that.
