Jazz Age

[close] Join novelist Monte Schulz to discuss the Jazz Age, Prohibition, the American Dream, and his newest book THE BIG TOWN (which he wrote for his father) the week of April 23-April 30, 2012.

[close] "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past" The 1920's was an incredible era in the world's history. It was the birth of modern culture, celebrity, the birth of hot jazz and dance bands that would be synonymous with the era. Films, fashion and literature developed at a phenomenal rate. It was the era of prohibition and wild excess, all brought to an end with the Stock Market Crash of 1929. This group celebrates that era, and the many influences it left behind.

[close] From the Jazz Age to the Jet Age, we love stories about romance, cocktails, speakeasies, hot jazz, and nightlife. We read fiction & non-fiction, as long as it makes us laugh and think.

[close] Join along to read twenty books set during the roaring (19)20s in 2020! Or read 20 books published in 1920...or a little of both! Recommend books to other "bright young things" and share your reads and reviews. We'll have a discussion of sorts on the 20th of each month.
