Introduction

The Cords of Vanity gives an airy chronicle of the love affairs of the hero, Robert Townsend, who has adopted infancy as a profession, and never gets out of boyhood. Townsend is also one of the self-hypnotized persons who, in the moment of saying it, believes everything that he says, and thus romances alluringly of himself with no regard to the fetters of fact--"truly a captivating liar.
