Wrapped Up In Books

My musings on what I've read since January 2006.

The Lost Decade and other stories - F.Scott Fitzgerald

Short stories from a writer I've always meant to read more of ever since loving Gatsby at uni. This was pretty well as I expected - disillusionment among the American rich written in exquisite prose.

Occasional jars for the modern reader: a minor character in one story is called Eva Goebels, and somebody's feet are described as "niggerish".
