The Jazz Age through the lives of Dorothy Parker, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Zelda Fitzgerald and Edna Ferber.
Marion Meade tells the story of the 1920s through four writers: Dorothy Parker, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Zelda Fitzgerald and Edna Ferber. Their lives crossed in New York and beyond, and Meade follows their careers, friendships, love affairs and rivalries through the decade, from 1920 to the crash.

This is Marion Meade’s overview. In some ways, it would be a good book to read first if you want an introduction to the Jazz Age. I think she does a very good job of getting the feel of it, and the organisation is quite clever.
