Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reader's Copy of Uncorrected Proof in paperback. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "In the tradition of Sean Wilsey's Oh The Glory of It All and Augusten Burrough's Running With Scissors, the great-great-great granddaughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt gives readers a grand tour of the world of wealth and WASPish peculiarity in her irreverent and darkly humorous memoir. [] Wendy Burden is a bold new voice in American literature. For generations the Burdens were one of the wealthiest families in New York, thanks to the inherited fortune of Cornelius 'The Commodore' Vanderbilt. By 1955, the year of Wendy's birth, the Burdens had become a clan of overfunded, quirky and brainy, steadfastly chauvinistic, and ultimately doomed bluebloods on the verge of financial and moral decline--and were rarely seen not holding a drink. [] At the heart of the story is Wendy's glamorous and aloof mother who, after her husband's suicide, travels the world in search of the perfect sea and ski tan, leaving her three children in the care of a chain-smoking Scottish nanny, Fifth Avenue grandparents, and an assorted cast of long-suffering household servants (who Wendy and her brothers love to terrorize). Rife with humor, heartbreak, family intrigue, and booze, DEAD END GENE POOL offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of old money and gives truth to an old maxim: The rich are different." [publisher copy] "In this dark and humorous memoir Wendy Burden takes us inside the family circus that was her side of the Vanderbilt dynasty, bringing American class structure, sibling rivalry and the decline of the bluebloods vividly to life. It's a wonderful read."--Gus Van Sant. "Charles Addams meets Carrie Bradshaw in this honest, sardonic, and touching memoir. Burden's tale makes for riveting and often hilarious reading."--Jane Stanton Hitchcock. Pristine paperback ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.…
