![]() ![]() After all, the world and I have both changed quite a bit since I was a teenager. I recall the experience as my coming of age as a reader – when I learned, years before discovering that I wanted to write, what transformative power a work of fiction can have.īecause my attachment to the book is so personal, I tend to reread it with slight trepidation that the magic may have fled. I read it as a teenager, during a stifling summer visit to my grandparents, when my literary tastes were unsophisticated (Archie comics were high on my list). T he House of Mirth was the first literary classic that I picked up entirely on my own, without prodding from a teacher or a parent, and adored. ![]()
