Fast And Loose And The Buccaneers (1993) - Plot & Excerpts

"Fast and Loose" was Edith Wharton's first novel, started when she was 14 and finished at 15. While she meant to keep it private (it was written for the amusement of a close friend), its publication here with "The Buccaneers" - her final, unfinished novel - gives insight into the major preoccupations of Wharton and her contemporaries. In many ways, Wharton was a fatalist when it came to male-female love relationships, and this collection is no exception, particularly "Fast and Loose;" "The Buccaneers" at least is a bit hopeful, but as the hopefulness comes at the end of the novel (the part that was unfinished) we are never able to see the ending unfold as she would have wanted us to and must only read her synopsis to find out how the story ends. Worth reading if you're an Edith Wharton fan.
