Read my "Did Not Finish" review of W. Somerset Maugham's 1944 classic "The Razor's Edge," set among the edgy soul-sick youth of the Jazz Age's Lost Generation but not written until an entire generation afterwards by someone now in his seventies, and feeling like it through every torturous, tedious page. Another gin and tonic before you're off to India, you say? Right-ho, governor! goodreads.com/review/show/5486

With panache, Colleen Moore:*

“They were smart and sophisticated, with an air of independence about them, and so casual about their looks and clothes and manners as to be almost slapdash.”

*I think I accidentally used a photo of Colleen on my Louise Brooks post. Ah, well.

With it, Louise Brooks

"Most beautiful dumb girls think they are smart and get away with it, because other people, on the whole, aren't much smarter."
