We know not why she was obsessed with these images (she was otherwise conventional) but the baroness's challenging aesthetic passion for such hoary wares is for the first time fully on view in Toulouse at Fondation Bemberg's exhibition Même pas peur: Vanités d'hier et d'aujourd'hui (Not Even Afraid: Vanitas of Yesterday and Today) in a sleek but sumptuous installation designed by Hubert le Gall.

In seven chapters, Dombek turns over a topic that is big and slippery, trendy and hoary, thorny and funny: the charge of narcissism, as it appears in literature (Ovid, Freud) and the Literature (Alice Miller, Donald Winnicott, Otto Kernberg); on reality television (MTV's "My Super Sweet 16") and the internet (soupy self-help sites); and within the life of the author, though here she is careful, perhaps exceedingly so.

Robert Frost embedded his own hoary maxims (good fences make good neighbors, and so on) in undermining contexts, or assigned them to unreliable speakers; Lee's axioms, too, come out of people's mouths, but the people sometimes seem numbed by the wisdom emanating from their moving lips: You say: We cannot look upon Love's face without dying, So we face each other to see Love's look, And thus third-person souls suddenly stand at gaze, and the lover and the beloved, second- and first-persons, You and I, eye to eye, are born.
