I have a yen for books featuring rich
people behaving badly, from modern novels like Kevin Kwan’s CRAZY RICH
ASIANS and Miranda Beverly-Whittemore’s BITTERSWEET to classics by Edith
Wharton and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The accoutrement of the wealthy might
change, but so much remains the same: the impenetrable social
hierarchies, the power struggles, and, of course, the outsider trying to
gain acceptance to an elite crowd they both loathe and pine for.
