Sumner Locke Elliott

4.9/5 (23649 ratings)

Description:Tabitha Wane is an agent, a woman of great charm and social ability, who in another age might have ruled a salon. Instead, Tabitha makes a flamboyant if hazardous career of encouraging, manipulating, and merchandising talented writers and theater people. The story takes place during a country weekend party where Tabitha is entertaining several clients and friends: creative people of widely varied talents and predators of rare and exotic plumage. Outwardly it is concerned with the maneuverings of their careers. But, on another level, it searches the quandary of a professional woman who, in trying to maintain her emotional balance among today's upside-down values, faces the crisis of self-discovery. The curious inversion of values in the artistic world - of real worth and dollar value, of love and commerce, and the men and women whose lives are shaped by these distortions - afford generous scope for Sumner Locke Elliott's accomplished satire.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
