Ashes of the Jazz AgeThe fog off the East River smelled the same as it had in Paris, which was to say it smelled of nothing at all. That is the thing about fog--it is the great equalizer. It blurs the skyline of Manhattan the same way it blurred the skyline of Le Havre. I stood on the deck of the ferry and watched the buildings rise out of the grey like promises made by men who knew they would not keep them. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 12 Views 0 Reviews

Ask and Answer: A Jazz Age Notebook, 1923-1927April 14, 1923 Long Island "What makes you think you belong here?" I asked myself this at the first party I attended on Long Island, standing in a garden that was larger than my entire neighbourhood back in Wisconsin, surrounded by people who wore dresses and suits that cost more than my father's annual salary and who spoke about investments and holidays in Biarritz the way other people speak...0 Comments 0 Shares 16 Views 0 Reviews

Echoes in the Jazz AgeThe summer of 1925 began on the Long Island Sound with a sound that Helen Winthrop would never forget: jazz music playing from an open window, champagne glasses clinking, laughter echoing across the water like a promise nobody intended to keep. Helen had come from Ohio — a small town where the most exciting thing that happened was the annual county fair, where people still believed that...0 Comments 0 Shares 32 Views 0 Reviews

Echoes in the Jazz AgeThe Geneva Protocol cost twelve thousand dollars a dose. Twelve thousand dollars, which in the summer of 1926 was enough to buy a small island, or a vineyard in Bordeaux, or—most accessibly—a very comfortable life in Manhattan for three generations. I sat in my office on Forty-Second Street, watching the rain streak the window. The building across the street was painted a color that could only...0 Comments 0 Shares 10 Views 0 Reviews

The Green Light at the End of the ClassroomThe classroom was on the third floor of a building on Route 9 that had once been a tavern, and if Arthur Pemberton had been asked to describe his life at forty-one, he would have said something like this: he was a man who had been drinking from a well for thirty-nine years and had finally found out it was dry. He taught at the Popham Rural School, a one-room building with twelve students and a...0 Comments 0 Shares 11 Views 0 Reviews
