Edith Wharton: The House of Mirth

Reader Submission: Title and Redesign by Michelle Legro of Lapham’s Quarterly.

Incidentally I was just thinking about how I wanted some new hats. Anyhow I was so extremely annoyed by this novel when I first read it in high school, but I think if I reread it now I would discover a newfound appreciation for it.

“I have tried hard—but life is difficult, and I’m a useless person.”
