Long forgotten since then he only came into my attention because of #PulitzerChallenge now into my second. #BoothTarkington actually twice won the Pulitzer meaning that I’ll revisited him pretty soon. Both novels were included in the @libraryofamerica volume. #TheMagnificentAmbersons also forms a part of a trilogy, whose first edition I bought recently from eBay. I guess I’ll be stuck with him for awhile. It is said that his snub mostly came from his conservatism when US entered modernity. Criterion Collection released the film adaptation several years ago, directed by Orson Welles. Back then it was really adaptation where lines were lifted from the novel verbatim. I wasn’t impressed by the movie as in almost all cases of adaptation, but it’s worth seeing just to check out how handsome George was and it turned out Tim Holt was rather cute. I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is his modern reincarnation. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiFDdseuM61/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
