Reviews
The New York Times "When Graydon Carter is in escapist mode, one of the places he goes to is New York in the 1920s…. In Bohemians, Bootleggers, Flappers, & Swells: The Best of Early Vanity Fair , Mr. Carter, the magazine's current editor, introduces readers to his predecessor Frank Crowninshield, and the incredible cast of writers he assembled." The New Yorker "Pieces [that] are at once of their moment and timeless." Associated Press "This is a book as a box of chocolates….And the fun comes from the variety." Publishers Weekly (starred): "This volume epitomizes the idea of modernity in American cultural life before the Second World War." Kirkus Reviews : "A remarkable range to the pieces….Whether read from cover to cover or dipped into occasionally, this collection serves as a fine primer to one magazine's contribution to a golden age of American magazine writing." Library Journal: "Reading this compilation of writings published in Vanity Fair from the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s is like sampling a box of chocolates on Valentine's Day: a delicious confection of satire, poetry, biographical sketches, humorous pieces, and thought-provoking commentary." Booklist : "These delightful period pieces reflecting the social mores of their time hold up in their innovation, style, and concern about modern life nearly a century later."
