They’ve actually inspired me to seek out other mystery series, and I stumbled across the Commissario Brunetti series by Donna Leon which are set in Venice the first is “Death at La Fenice”, and the combination of the protagonist Brunetti and the lush descriptions of Venice had me hooked. I’ve also been devouring the Inspector Gamache stories from Louise Penny, but I deliberately take my time with them so that I can savor their coziness. “Before The Fall”, “A Man Called Ove”, and “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society” were three other ‘unputdownable’ books for me (all based on recommendations from WSIRN). I adored “Rules of Civility”, and have recommended it to so many friends (for what it’s worth, I also loved “A Gentleman in Moscow”, but for different reasons - it was definitely a quieter book). I really enjoyed it - and it literally took me 24 hours. I actually just finished “Tell Me Three Things” about 20 minutes ago, and came to MMD to decide on my next read (despite my long TBR stack!). The European artist! What a dazzling figure! André Breton, Louis Aragon, Jean Cocteau, Tristan Tzara, Picasso, Matisse, Arnold Schoenberg, Paul Valéry-such creatures stood out like Gustave Miklos figurines of bronze and gold against the smoking rubble of Europe after the Great War. “The colonial complex” now took hold like a full nelson. The motto of the Lost Generation was, in Malcolm Cowley’s words, “They do things better in Europe.” What was in progress was a postwar discount tour in which practically any American-not just, as in the old days, a Henry James, a John Singer Sargent, or a Richard Morris Hunt-could go abroad and learn how to be a European artist. In fact, he couldn’t have gotten it more hopelessly turned around. Calverton wrote that American artists and writers had suffered from a “colonial complex” throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and had timidly imitated European models-but that after World War I they had finally found the self-confidence and sense of identity to break free of the authority of Europe in the arts. This great boho adventure is called “the Lost Generation.” Meaning what? In The Liberation of American Literature, V. Young American architects, along with artists, writers, and odd-lot intellectuals, are roaming through Europe. OUR STORY BEGINS IN GERMANY JUST AFTER THE FIRST World War.

Everything's great I say, with all the brightness I can summon. François Duhamel / Sygma via Getty Images Kirsten Dunst, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in "Interview With the Vampire," 1994. In a 2012 interview, she called Louis and Lestat the “first vampire same-sex parents.” And she later said that Claudia was likely unconsciously inspired by her daughter, while she and Stan were the inspirations for her vampire fathers. The domestic plotline and erotic dialogue made the novel ripe for queer readings, which Rice would confirm over the years. And he relates how the two took in a young child, Claudia, while living in New Orleans and proceeded to parent her over decades as she remained physically frozen in time. Louis tells a young reporter, whom he meets in a dark San Francisco bar, about immortal life alongside his sinister and seductive maker, Lestat. The novel centers on vampires Louis and Lestat. While the book failed to impress critics, it became an immediate commercial success, in large part because of its popularity among gay readers.
