A Lifetime's Too Short

by Blake Hughes

Does Life imitate Art or vice versa? A troublesome question for Jeremy Dillon whose romance is imperiled by the publication of his precious novel. Older generations will find the redolence of old movies in "A Lifetime’s Too Short" as such stalwarts of yesteryear as Billie Burke, Loretta Young, Clyde Pangborn, Guy Kibbee, and Lionel Barrymore cast themselves into leading roles. Younger readers will take heart in learning that even in the "well bred" generations of the past, there was an abundance of folly. All readers are asked to shed the armor of cynicism and pseudo-sophistication to bathe in the nourishing vapors of light-hearted verity.
