- <p> Edith Wharton is enjoying a hot season, 56 years after her death,
- that would be the envy of many a living novelist. Buoyed by
- Martin Scorsese's film, The Age of Innocence is the No. 1 paperback
- best seller. Sales of other Wharton titles have doubled, and
- three have been snapped up for possible films. As if Wharton
- didn't write enough, her last, unfinished novel, The Buccaneers,
- has been completed (and, alas, flattened and sentimentalized)
- by scholar Marion Mainwaring (Viking; $22). It too has been
- optioned by Hollywood.
