Today when I was out doing errands I stopped to check out the newsstand at the supermarket and came across the September issue of Vogue. A quick flip through the pages and I discovered this . . .
An article on Edith Wharton. Into the cart it went. Actually I could easily have stood and read the few pages in the store, but the photography is so lush and beautiful, I had to have the whole magazine.
I love the photograpohic recreation (by none other than the talented Annie Leibovitz). That's Henry James on the left (novelist Jeffrey Eugenides), Edith in her motorcar (model Natalia Vodianova), Cook, Edith's faithful driver (actor Elijah Wood) and Morton Fullerton far right (actor Jack Huston).
More Edith Wharton serendipity it would seem. This makes me feel like the gods are telling me something. I had better go to my bookshelves and pull off one of her novels to read!
