Much arch commentary, however, edges toward Oscar Wilde: "He even felt glad that he had suffered a little. One must try everything once." Provocative (especially to an age notably short of elegant abuse), nearly always interesting as a tour de force, The Girls lacks narrative substance, a problem of form inevitable, perhaps, in books put together mainly from letters, excerpts from notebooks, oddments of thought and author's asides.
