The Enigma of Garbo
(Original Title: 嘉寶)
This astonishing news has shocked every reader, appearing in almost every publication in America over the past six months. Even the most skeptical must wonder at such strange circumstances, but before dismissing it, read further. They assert that this is a significant matter: Garbo’s suicide! Indeed, Garbo is said to have taken her own life, yet she did not die from this attempt. Why, you ask? Because her suicide was not due to distress or despair; it stemmed from a deep-seated sense of loss linked to her status and reputation. Peering deeply as if regretting something lost, Garbo wears an expression that few can fathom.
