I remember little about this book . Read it years ago because he was hugely popular in the 1920s.When you read say the ones of the lost generation who became considered classics like Hemingway, Fitzgerald & the ones not quite as influential like Sinclair Lewis & DosPassos , you kinda want to read the popular ones just to get the zeitgeist.Looking at you ,👀 @Bookwomble 😂published in 1919 , this copy 20th printing, 1927
Bookwomble Ooh, that's a nice copy 😍 2y
Bookwomble I realise that this is a most Hipster thing to say, but often the more interesting writers are the less popular. I do like taking a chance on more obscure authors, though that sometimes means me coming home with a Fanny Cradock book! I don't know how to explain the comedy of that to a non-British person 😆 2y
Leftcoastzen @Bookwomble I‘m part British so I think I get it.That Fanny photo , does look a bit like a drag queen! saying that I mean not to disparage women or drag queens!😂 2y

Bookwomble @Leftcoastzen I guess it's a look more comparable to Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, which is unkind, I know. Well, I'll see when I eventually read the book. 2y
