Reading The Cords of Vanity | Alexandria
Read The Cords of Vanity by James Branch Cabell. Twisting notions of vanity and self-deception, The Cords of Vanity exposes how we craft false narratives about ourselves. Cabell's sardonic tale follows a narcissistic writer whose pursuit of artistic glory reveals uncomfortable truths about ego and authenticity. The counterintuitive revelation? Our greatest delusions often fuel our finest achievements.
