We enter life crying, spend our youth trying to figure out how to be cool, our adulthood pretending we know what we’re doing, and the rest of our time wondering where our knees went. It’s a strange ride. One minute you’re arguing with your parents about bedtime, the next you’re fantasizing about going to bed at 9 p.m. voluntarily. Growth.

That’s the modern human experience. Of course, ...

Bergdorf Blondes are a thing, you know, a New York craze. Absolutely everyone wants to be one, but it’s très difficult. Honestly, it requires a level of commitment comparable to, say, learning Hebrew or quitting cigarettes. But first, a little bit about moi. The gossips call me a champagne bubble of a girl.

By night, I’m on the prowl for the ultimate accessory a Bergdorf Blonde must have: an impossibly rich man with a very large diamond ring.

First published in 1873, The Gilded Age is both a biting satire and a revealing portrait of post-Civil War America - an age of corruption when crooked land speculators, ruthless bankers, and dishonest politicians voraciously took advantage of the nation's peacetime optimism. With his characteristic wit and perception, Mark Twain and his collaborator, Charles Dudley Warner, attack the greed, lust, and naiveté of their own time in a work that endures as a valuable social document and one of America's most important satirical novels.

“Perceptive and witty—like a Sally Rooney novel set in Southern California.” —The Minnesota Star Tribune “It’s this author’s best work yet. A Sapphic roller-coaster ride.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A controversial Los Angeles-based author attempts to revive her career...
