Twilight Sleep-Edith Wharton
From Men Without Women · 8:49:00
Show by Ernest Hemingway
Twilight Sleep by Edith Wharton.Wharton miraculously finds it possible to satirize the very rich while simultaneously showing compassion and even grudging admiration for some of her victims. Every character she introduces is vividly depicted, no matter how minor. Yet for all the clarity of these depictions, the lives these people live, though busy, are empty and meaningless. The novel is a brilliant description of evasion and inauthenticity.Featured on Men Without Women.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
