Modernist Portraits
Description
Jazz filled the air and wailed against the night. Caught in the sway, American prose writers sought out the forbidden, the slang, the dialects, and the rhythms of the folk and of everyday life. Writers such as Hemingway, Stein, and Fitzgerald forged a new style: one which silhouetted the geometry of language, crisp in its own cleanness.
