The Fitz-Boodle Papers

William Makepeace Thackeray is lauded for his razor-sharp wit in satirical novels such as Vanity Fair . In this epistolary collection, Thackeray channels his jocularity into a series of pompous letters touching on subjects as diverse as food, literary figures, romance, and general life advice. A must-read for fans of Thackeray's hilariously skewed view of the world.
