The preeminent award-winning literary critic of the era shares his dazzling observations of the American twenties. Here is the raw side of the U.S.A., the mad side of Hollywood, the literary infighting in New York, the gossip and anecdotes of an astonishing cast of characters, the jokes, the profundities, the inanities. Here is Edmund Wilson, the slim young man in Greenwich Village sallying forth to parties in matching ties and socks, hobnobbing with such giant wordsmiths as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edna St. Vincent Millay, John Peale Bishop, H.L. Mencken, Dorothy Parker, e.e. cummings, John Dos Passos and Eugene O'Neill.
