This Bio is Better Than Just O.K.,

This review is from: Harold Nicolson: 1886-1929 v. 1: A Biography (Paperback)
Maybe I should preface my comment by saying that I began with "Portrait of a Marriage" and then continued with Harold Nicolson's Diaries, "Vita and Harold", "Vita", Norman Rose, "Harold Nicolson", diaries of H.N.'s friends, and I am currently waiting on a copy of H.N.'s novel, "Other People", which is autobiographical. So it's not as if I am uninterested in this diplomat, who had an exceptional linguistic skill in French, Italian, German, Farsi, and other languages. He also had a crowded social schedule, which included single young aristocrats.
Ah, those Nicolsons! You might say that when a couple of gay people marry (with one gay son), they enter into a competition to see who can bed the highest number of peers and near-peers. Ah, the "upper orders", as Wilde might say. I intend to reread "Harold Nicolson"; currently, I just yearn for more of H.N. and less of James Lees-Milne, whose talent at the N.T. (National Trust) may be greater than his ability to write a good read. bgeary263@live.com (I incl. my address in case another Anglophile, one who has a take on this biography, will consider sending an email.)
