According to Plato

Name: According to Plato
Author: Frank Frankfort Moore

A witty social satire that follows a circle of acquaintances as they trade epigrams, mock treatises on friendship, and debates about taste and reputation. Light domestic conversations and comedic set pieces alternate with sharper lampoons of literary fashion, including a parody lecture that outlines the putative techniques of sensational slum fiction. Through ironic narration and pointed dialogue the work exposes pretension, the pursuit of distinction, and the theatrical mechanics by which writers and social actors cultivate notoriety and respectability.
