Apercus

Mignon McLaughlin

The Brabant Press 

Beschreibung

Mignon McLaughlin was a short story writer and playwright with a rapier wit and an acerbic take on love, marriage, and friendship. Her aphorisms, published between 1958 and 1966, will appeal to everyone who appreciates this aristocratic, subversive genre. Not all of the collection consists of aphorisms, strictly speaking: some are simply reflections, brutally honest as they are clever, on McLaughlin's own fears and foibles. Apercus is an autobiography in epigrams of a shrewd, candid, and entertaining woman.
