      The Miseducation of Henry Adams

      Jun 30, 2017

      The running joke of the book is that Adams continually fails at everything he turns his hand to: he speaks repeatedly of not being able to understand, of being left out of the conversation, of being excluded, of failing, of not being equal to the tas
