jeanetterenee's review against another edition
I wanted to read this because I enjoyed Laura and Caspary's autobio, The Secrets of Grownups. Had to abandon it because it spends too much time on the publishing business and the young narrator's attempts at flirting and romance. The murder mystery, which seems promising, gets buried and sometimes all but forgotten.

"What a Gorgonzola!" -- Lola Manfred, to her reflection.
"We are surrounded by hordes of people who can believe in anything sincerely as long as it brings them a good living. Fascists believe in Fascism, don't they, especially the big ones whose attitudes pay a profit? There's nothing in the world, my friend, so sincere as self-interest."
"In the name of Truth, fact is distorted, rumor spread, crackpots glorified, authority given charlatans and crooks."
