Two more from NYRB Classics

On the scale from meh to wow, both a little closer to meh... 

Sleepless Nights
Elizabeth Hardwick

A critic's critic and editor's editor, she must also have been a writer's writer, which may have something to do with my inability to get very far into this artfully written novel/memoir before... well... overcoming my own sleeplessness! 

A Way of Life, Like Any Other 
Darcy O'Brien

This is a somewhat dated Hollywood coming-of-age story. It's quite amusing in parts, but for me it didn't add up to much more than a diversion.
