The Roaring Twenties, perhaps best described by the late F. Scott Fitzgerald, are brought to light by a group of writers who never lived that era. Though not thoroughly edited for form and grammatical content, 1920 gives a glimpse of that time through the eyes of persons who never experienced it. Every major epoch in history has writers who write about it from generations hence, this being no exception. The glamor, the pain, the mystery of the Lost Generation, composed by writers of approximately Generation X or even Generation Y offer the reader fresh insights into a time which turned the world on its ear. Anybody who enjoys reading fiction about the time which gave birth to both the Great Depression and World War II would find this quite worthwhile. In short, if Fitzgerald is one of your fortes, this is a must.
