LM Montgomery on “The Blind Bow-Boy” by Carl Van Vechten

“This book is an incredible compound of stupidity, vanity, and nastiness. Yet it has been praised in reviews as ‘exceedingly clever and brilliant’. I should class it with the dull dirty things obscene little boys scribble on the walls of waterclosets. Faugh! I flung the thing into the furnace when I had finished it and washed my hands to get rid of the atmosphere of putrescence.

The book is a pigsty.”
