"The only person writing about high society from inside the
aquarium." —Tina Brown
"Readers mourned Dunne's passing in August 2009, bereft at the
thought of life without his keen novels and incisive Vanity Fair
profiles...But Dunne grants us one more good read...[his]
glittering high-society satire harbors sorrow at its heart as [his]
burdened hero ponders his secrets and regrets."—Booklist
"On full display here, Dunne's jaded eye for the foibles of the
ultraspoiled, his stylish wit and eavesdropper's ear--they are
among the many reasons he is sorely missed."—Kirkus Reviews
“A savagely honest presentation of the upper echelons of New York
City society . . . none of whom escape Dunne’s sharp gaze.”—San
Francisco Chronicle
“Juicy high-society soap opera.”—Los Angeles Times
“Familiar turf for Dunne fans . . . a fun romp . . . Pull up a
chair at Swifty’s, order some Champagne, and enjoy.”
—USA Today
“A last delicious dish on the rich and famous [Dunne] knew and
loved to skewer so well.”
—The Boston Globe
