The Life to Come: And Other Short Stories written by E.M. Forster is a collection of short stories that spans six decades of the author’s literary career. These fourteen stories, some of which were never published during Forster’s lifetime, offer glimpses into various phases of his development as a writer. From 1903 to 1957 (or even later), Forster weaves tales that explore themes such as love, identity, and human connections. Notably, many of these stories touch upon overtly homosexual themes, reflecting Forster’s courage in addressing such topics.
