Description

Muriel Interest in primary type: among her most pleasant, complicated, and instructional jeux d'esprit."How fantastic to become an artist and a lady in the twentieth-century," Fleur Talbot rejoices.

Angry egomaniacs, hilariously creating their memoirs in advance—or bad fools trapped with a blackmailer?
