The Crazy Years: Paris in the Twenties

Rating:
Summary: Captivating portrait of an age
Review: This book portrays the fascination of the Paris of the Twenties, the times of the Ballets Russes, Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Joyce, Man Ray, Gertrude Stein, Shakespeare &Co and Josephine Baker. Wiser's book describes in detail the artistic atmosphere in a decade that was born prematurely with the Armistice in 1918, from the peak of its glory to the decline with the Crash of 1929. A moving, nostalgic account.
