"Louis Auchincloss, a prominent Wall Street lawyer from a prominent New York family who became a prolific chronicler of Manhatten's old money elite died on Tuesday night. He was 92."
Auchincloss is an inspiration to anyone with an appreciation for the law, etiquette, civility and literature. His tales offer a rare glimpse into the urbane, Ivy-league, partician lifestyle of the early Twentieth century. Perhaps most noteworthy, he offered a brutally honest glimpse of this slice of society. Furthermore, any successful attorney who also has time to publish over 60 literary works is worthy of this blog's attention.
