I'm reading this book, "Less:A Novel" that is filled with these perfect epigrammic sentences. "Freddy, unable to swallow even the vegetables of small talk, stalked to the bar for another champagne."
Before I forget the name of this book again, Rumors of Peace is an old book (1979) that I first read in late 90s. It was a great book. My book group loved it.Rumors of Peace
