Xingu (Or The Lunch Club): Chapter Four

In this short novella by Edith Wharton, we are treated to a hilarious vignette of a New York ladies' Lunch Club in the early 1920s. In Chapter Four, with Osric Dane and Mrs Roby gone, the group feels both relieved and cheated. They decide that they will try to find out what Xingu is, if only to deny Mrs Roby the satisfaction of knowing more about their topics for discussion than they do.

If you enjoy Edith Wharton's writing, 'His Father's Son' is also available on Premium Tracks.

Love Wharton’s sarcasm as the ladies try to figure out Xingu and pick apart Fanny. Thanks Mandy🙏🏻

Fun story, Mandy, thank you! I also really enjoy the factoids about the author at the beginning of the recording! Keep those coming! ((I will have to listen again, since I seem to fall asleep so quickly lately!)
