This was very good with a lot of interesting information and anecdotes. I've read about a lot of these people before, but I'm a sucker for year-by-year books and books about the 1920s, so it was perfect for me. I occasionally lost track of who was who (I fully admit I'm not great with non-English names), so sometimes a person by person approach may have better, but I love books that progress through time, so ultimately I really enjoyed it.
Paris in the 20's. You know some of these folks—Picasso, Hemingway, Fitzgerald—but did you know that Paris was also, for a time, the home of Man Ray, Cole Porter, Josephine Baker, and many, many others?
I read this book in one window of my computer, and, as I read along, I opened up other windows to look up photos and paintings and additional information about all the amazing people of this book. It's a fascinating read.
I guarantee you will learn many amazing things about the people of 1920's Paris.
