The Cords Of Vanity

The Cords of Vanity is a satirical comedy written by James Branch Cabell. The story follows the life of Felix Kennaston, a young man who is obsessed with his own vanity and self-importance. He spends his days dreaming of fame and fortune, but he lacks the ambition and drive to achieve his goals. Instead, he shirks his responsibilities and avoids any real work.Throughout the book, Kennaston's delusions of grandeur are contrasted with the realities of his life. He is constantly confronted with his own mediocrity and the fact that he is not as talented or important as he believes himself to be. Despite this, he continues to cling to his illusions, even as his life spirals out of control.The Cords of Vanity is a biting satire of the American Dream and the culture of self-promotion. It is a witty and insightful commentary on the human condition, and a reminder that sometimes the things we value most are the very things that hold us back.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
