#whartonbuddyread - how committed are you? 🙂 Here‘s the plan for Wharton‘s notoriously unrevealing autobiography. We‘ll learn what she wants us to learn about her parents and Henry James, etc - I think.

Are you in?

Plan:
Nov 22 chapter I-V Friendship and Travels
Nov 29 chapter VI-VIII Henry James
Dec 6 chapter IX-XI Paris
Dec 13 chapter XII-XIV And After

Mehso-so

A Yale prof said that we learn much about history through the observations of fiction writers. This book shows that. For ex, what we now consider the quaint remote New England village she saw as a bleak backwood. And when you think about it, that‘s probably right. This feels like she wrote it in a single nostalgic afternoon. A history buff may like it, but if you don‘t care to know that Henry James‘ stroke came on as he dressed, don‘t bother.
