Since I rely on Mouthfuls as my main news source, I missed the passing last week, aged 92, of Louis Auchinloss - prolific, patrician chronicler of old New York, a sort of Proust of the knickerbockers I suppose.
Or the anti J.D. Salinger? Perhaps time passed him by, and he'll just be yet another novelist with sixty volumes ranged across the dusty shelves of a few old libraries.

Wasn't he more Edith Wharton or early Henry James than Marcel Proust?

Well I didn't mean that too literally. Maybe Trollope is better.

Hey, not bad, considering that I don't think I've ever actually read Trollope; only read bits of Fanny being nasty about American eating habits.
