Skáldsögur

"Xingu" by Edith Wharton offers a sharp, satirical glimpse into the pretensions of high society and intellectual elitism. The story centers on a group of self-proclaimed cultured women belonging to the Lunch Club, who pride themselves on their literary discussions. Their pomposity is hilariously exposed when they invite a celebrated author, only to be flummoxed by the enigmatic term "Xingu." Wharton's witty critique underscores the superficiality of social status and the often overlooked value of genuine curiosity and humility.
