Bright Young People: The Lost Generation of London's Jazz Age, Paperback/D. J. Taylor

Descriere & specificații

The modern obsession with celebrity began with the Bright Young People, a voraciously pleasure-seeking band of bohemian party-givers and blue-blooded socialites who romped through the gossip columns of 1920s London. Drawing on the virtuosic and often wrenching writings of the Bright Young People themselves, the biographer and novelist D. J. Taylor has produced an enthralling account of an age of fleeting brilliance. About the Author D. J. Taylor is a literary critic and the author of two acclaimed biographies-- Thackeray and Orwell: The Life , which won the Whitbread biography prize in 2003--and six novels, including Kept: A Victorian Mystery . He lives in Norwich, England.
