What a delight it was to read Dawn Powell's 1936 "Turn, Magic Wheel", in which urbane literary satire intertwines with an acute account of the deceptions and self-deceptions of love and marriage!

I found Powell's wit and style especially refreshing after having recently waded through the self important verbosity of Thomas Wolfe's "Look Homeward, Angel".
