Excerpt from The Cords of Vanity: A Comedy of Shirking Cords OF vanity, on its publication eleven years ago, promptly became a book which there were - almost - m none to praise and very few to love. After all, its author's computation of that former audience of his his actual individual voluntary readers of a decade ago appears to be but slightly and pardonably exaggerated on the more modest side of the fact. If there were a Cabell Club of membership determined solely by the number of those who, already possessing the cords OF vanity in its first edition, recognize it as the work of a serious artist of high achievement and higher capacity, I suspect that the smallness of that club would be in inordinate dispro portion to everything but its selectness and its members' pride in belonging.
