The Red Room

Gelesen von William Peck

(3,731 Sterne; 13 Bewertungen)

A young idealistic civil servant, Arvid Falk, leaves the drudgery of bureaucracy to become a journalist and author. As he explores various social activities — politics, publishing, theatre, philanthropy, and business — he finds more hypocrisy and corruption than he thought possible. He takes refuge with a group of "bohemians", who meet in a red dining room in Berns Salonger to discuss these matters. (Introduction adopted from Wikipedia) (10 hr 4 min)

Omg.. If you have ever seen the MASH episode where he tries to become a writer... This is how this book is read. The story whilst old fashioned seems good, but I just can't get thru another chapter of the disjointed was it is read.
