(Donald Robert) Hermione and Her Little Group of Serious Thinkers "Hermione and Her Little Group of Serious Thinkers" by Don Marquis is a satirical exploration of modern intellectual pretensions, likely written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around Hermione, a self-proclaimed serious thinker, and her eclectic circle of friends who delve into absurd topics ranging from profound philosophical questions to trivialities in fashion. Through Hermione's musings and whimsical discussions, the text scrutinizes the superficiality and eccentricities of intellectual and artistic movements of the time. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Hermione in her environment, a gathering place filled with her quirky friends who engage in discussions that blend the profound with the absurd. Hermione's thoughts and observations reveal her eccentric yet earnest attempts to embrace trends in philosophy, sociology, and aesthetics while poking fun at their contradictions. Through her interactions and reflections, readers glimpse both the humor and pathos of her character, who grapples with the desire for sincerity and meaning in a chaotic world, demonstrating Marquis’s keen insight into human nature and the follies of societal norms.
