Re: MacDonogh Reread I

Okay, this is super mean but it is HILARIOUS!

Isn't it?

this sounds like the kind of story that might or might not be true and probably isn't cited

I just ran into it in Lavisse, so it's at least a story that goes back to the 19th century!

the bio seems very readable and with lots of interesting stories

Definitely lots of interesting stories; readable...well, your mileage may vary, but I find the style very dry. I found Blanning a much more effortless read.

But if it weren't for MacDonogh reporting on Mimi (yes, he got the gender wrong, but none of us knew that story at all!) I don't think I would have gotten intrigued enough to go looking into Suhm, who is now one of my favorite Fritz boyfriends. <3

So deeeeefinitely glad I read him.
