Interesting short

Written after the Great Gatsby. Anson is a shallow, dissolute, but intelligent man who florishes when he is captivated by a woman, but does not commit to marriage.

As his friend, the narrator comments ""I don't think he was ever happy unless some one was in love with him."

Interesting novella.
