The Fundamentals of Play

The Fundamentals of Play

by Caitlin Macy (Author)

Synopsis

Harry Lombardi is trying to gatecrash a very exclusive party. Short, volatile and ambitious, he wants to enter the stylish circle of George Lenhart's young Manhattanite friends. With old northeastern money behind them and Wall Street ahead, the order of their day is a cool disdain for ambition and an ironic distance from passion. Harry has money to spare but it's new money from new technologies - what he wants is a way in. Both he and George want Kate Goodenow, the casually elegant embodiment of their desires. Kate doesn't need much - certainly not Harry's too-obvious ambition. But old-money was once new, and the rich have very sharp survival instincts...
