Snob’s Autobiography and a Tale of Love and Ambition
A first person narrator, a social climber, chronicles his rise in New York society. He disguises vanity as wit, shifts from Jenny Bleecker to Effie Eastyork, and ensnares Minna Pratt before marrying Effie. The piece ends with a reflective, ironic note on snobbery and ambition.
