What would Little Women be without the charms of the March family's
cozy New England home? Or Wuthering Heights without the
ghost-infested Wuthering Heights? Getting lost in the setting of a
good book can be half the pleasure of reading, and Decorating a
Room of One's Own brings literary backdrops to the foreground in
this wryly affectionate satire of interior design reporting.
English professor and humorist Susan Harlan spoofs decorating
culture by reimagining its subject as famous fictional homes and
"interviews" the residents who reveal their true tastes: Lady
Macbeth's favorite room in the castle, or the design inspiration
behind Jay Gatsby's McMansion of unfulfilled dreams. Featuring 30
entries of notable dwellings, sidebars such as "Setting Up an Ideal
Governess's Room," and four-color spot illustrations throughout,
Decorating a Room of One's Own is the ideal book for readers who
appreciate fine literature and a good end table.
