So I’m finally getting around to reading Jonathan Franzen’s Purity. The other day I came across the following passage:
Her body looked to be only a healthy diet and some regular exercise away from greatness, but her face and hair were on the verge of confirming a wicked little dictum of Leila’s: Blondes don’t age well. (Leila saw middle age as The Revenge of the Brunettes.)
This, by the way, is offered without any comment whatsoever. None. Remember: I’m just the messenger.
