For generations the Burdens were one of the wealthiest families in New York, thanks to the inherited fortune of Cornelius "The Commodore" Vanderbilt. By 1955, the year of Wendy Burden's birth, the Burdens had become a clan of overfunded, quirky and brainy, steadfastly chauvinistic, and ultimately doomed bluebloods on the verge of financial and moral decline---and were rarely seen not holding a drink.

Would you try another book from Wendy Burden and/or Coleen Marlo?
No. Wendy Burden is the most unsympathetic character. Coleen Marlo mispronounces words, like saying wonton instead of wanton.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Unorthodox by Deborah Feldman
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Coleen Marlo?
Wendy Burden is so unsympathetic it would not matter who the narrator was.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Dead End Gene Pool?
I would have fought to have this book not published.
