A Time Capsule of Celebrity

Tina Brown is an amazing writer, her sentences are elegant and uniquely picturesque. This book is a lot of inside bingo on New York celebrity culture in the era of Reagan, so if you want to relive that, these diary entries are for you. If that sort of things gets on your nerves after a while — the name dropping and bizarre lifestyles of the beautiful people — you’ll play this out in the early sections as I did. The author is a brilliant talent, and Vanity Fair had its day, but some time capsules are meant to stay closed to all but those who revel in their opening. I’m not sure magazines ever mattered as much as she would have us believe, but in today’s world it is curious to remember they once mattered at all.
