World in and between the world wars. People met in Paris, oeuvres scattered around. Ceci est un collage personnel of those people in Paris and their art, regardless of a 'real' timeline.
Paris Review - The Art of Fiction No. 13, Dorothy Parker
| Interviewer: | What was it about the twenties that inspired people like yourself and Broun? |
| Parker: | Gertrude Stein did us the most harm when she said, “You’re all a lost generation.” That got around to certain people and we all said, Whee! We’re lost. Perhaps it suddenly brought to us the sense of change. Or irresponsibility. But don’t forget that, though the people in the twenties seemed like flops, they weren’t. Fitzgerald, the rest of them, reckless as they were, drinkers as they were, they worked damn hard and all the time. |
