Edith Wharton and Friends in Vogue

By Jason Diamond On August 13, 2012 · 5 Comments · In Lit.

Not only do we get an essay on Edith Wharton written by Colm Tóibín in the newest issue of Vogue, but we get an entire Wharton-inspired photo spread shot by Annie Leibovitz at The Mount. Including the above photo that recreates a picnic between Henry James, Morton Fullerton and Wharton.

What’s even better? Jonathan Safran Foer in a photo with Junot Díaz posing as Walter Van Rensselaer Berry:

Nice to see Jeffrey Eugenides, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Junot Díaz in the photos. Wharton is played by model Natalia Vodianova, I guess because Vogue doesn’t know any contemporary women writers?

Of course Edith and Morton Fullerton were about 45 when they met… Here are the real Walter Berry and Morton Fullerton: http://jenniefields.com/the-age-of-desire/gallery/ The dog is perfect though!

They really should have cast Ann Patchett as Wharton.
