Why read it?
1 author picked The Rich and Other Atrocities as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was fortunate to cross paths with Curtis when I went to work for what were called the women’s pages” of The New York Times, which she had written for and edited before rising to the exalted op-ed page. When I got that job, my soon-to-be wife gave me a copy of this book—a collection of Curtis dispatches from the front lines of Society—and said, “This is what you can do if you’re good at it.”
From Michael's list on American High Society.
