Summary

This portrait of the smart set in Jazz Age New York by one of the most interesting personalities in 1920s New York, writer and photographer Carl Van Vechten. Exhausted by wars and peace conferences, worn out by prohibition and other dishonest devices of unscrupulous politicians, the younger generation, born and bred to respect nothing, make a valiant and heart-breaking attempt to enjoy themselves.
