A review by laurtiv
D.V. by Diana Vreeland
Need a lighter, pool-side type of read...
I just couldn't relate to this book much less finish it. Diana Vreeland was "the" editor at Harpers Bazaar back in the day (think Anna Wintour at Vogue...just snobbier). I picked this book up for $1.00 because I knew who she was and thought her life would be interesting to read about...I was wrong. It's a self-written auto biography published in 1984 and Diana Vreeland should have hired a ghost writer. Not only is she aloof and condescending but as a writer, she's got a major case of in diagnosed ADD and I just couldn't keep up with her ramblings (nor did I want to after chapter 5).
