Although I still do very much love and appreciate author Ben Guterson’s hotel of all imaginable delights and pleasures setting (and kind of wish that magical vacation and relaxation spots like Winterhouse actually did exist) and while it was also fun and delightful meeting up with in particulate Elizabeth, Freddy, Norbridge and Leona again (not to mention the puzzles and some of the many mysteries of Winterhouse), I cannot really say that The Secrets of Winterhouse has been either all that enjoyable or all that engaging as a novel, as a story in and of itself. That’s one of the main takeaways’ from Bloomberg reporter Sarah Frier’s No Filter, which expertly chronicles the rise of Instagram from its early days as a fledgling Foursquare-like check-in app, to the Facebook-owned behemoth that currently accounts for more than a quarter of the company’s $70 billion revenue.įrier’s work is based on lengthy interviews with the company’s two founders, current and former employees, and it brings fresh insight into some of Instagram’s most pivotal moments. Now we have another explanation for those disagreements: Zuckerberg’s jealousy that his acquisition would outshine Facebook’s core service. It later emerged that their departures had come after months of tension with Mark Zuckerberg about the direction of the company and the app’s design.

When you get up to speed you are thrilled to access to Jim’s worldview, even as the world conspires against him. But that makes it sound as if it’s an exalted enterprise: it’s not. Why is that? Like watching Shakespeare’s plotting villains or early episodes of Deadwood, it takes some time to acclimate yourself to the incredibly specific, rarefied language. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to take pause before they plow their way through it. Strangely, some Lucky Jim partisans struggle through the book’s opening the first time they read it. But Lucky Jim remains the benchmark for satire, misbehavior and the absurd demands of adult life. Yes, that’s an absurd statement (Jim himself would surely raise an eyebrow at such a sweeping claim).
