his book contains 5 charming tales that range from the bittersweet (“Bernice bobs her hair”) over the cautionary (“The Ice Palace”) to the tragic (“May Day”) and the grotesque (“The Diamond as Big as the Ritz”).The fifth story is “The Bowl”.
The stories are indeed set in the jazz age (1920’s)and tell about the (mis)fortunes of young men and women, high school kids, college students and the like, at that time. So imagine proms, high school dances, romances, a lot of drinking and fighting done by the men and a lot of gossip and rivalry among the women.
The writing is excellent and brings forth vivid imagery in rich detail. So you’ve got a book about an interesting subject (1920’s American high-life) that is also beautifully written. Where I come from that’s called a good deal.
