Comedy tonight!
Jun. 7th, 2009 12:19 pmI finished Drood yesterday; final review here. Whew, that was a hard slog.
Now for a nice long Edith Wharton orgy! Wharton is one of my "comfort food authors," as Cleolinda has it, and I went a little crazy and ordered three of her books off Amazon for a special treat recently. I'm starting with The Glimpses of the Moon, which is billed as a comedy. Thank heaven. After nearly 800 pages of torment and angst and lurid opium hallucinations, I need a comedy in the worst way.
Of course, it's still Wharton, comedy or no comedy, so four chapters in, the moral dilemmas are already flying thick and fast. But her writing is so lovely that even the moral dilemmas are a pleasure to read about.
