Description
This 1922 novel is an early example of a modern metafiction. Based on Van Vechten's own experiences in Paris, and featuring himself as first-person narrator, as well as many of his friends and acquaintances as characters, the novel revolves around an entirely fictional personage, the eponymous Peter Whiffle, a would-be writer.Tags
