Unsolicited best books of 2021, Christmas edition: Edith Wharton’s The Custom of the Country. Divinely craven. Like Real Housewives except better decor and clothing and pacing and characters. Plus they don’t beep out the c word (it’s in the title). https://t.co/Syi8BVZVrc

@GabiBirkner Too bad there isn’t already a book called Aspirational Spirit Vegetable. I’m lieu of that, I will recommend Renata Adler’s Speedboat. Anything more twee would be too on the nose.
