An excellent summary of the Lost Generation mentality. By a generation that didn't feel that lost, anyway. I never really thought about whether the 20s generation in America could relate to that term. Though from what I heard, the term was coined by a French mechanic one of the writers met over there: where a generation truly was lost. Looking forward to reading Renaissance Radio sometime!

Where does good vs evil fit in.....some people would have considered ( if fact a lot of people) Hitler normal.....do we simply imply he wasn't normal or was he evil....... it was a good debate I guess I just wanted to go deeper....

I can just picture these characters standing around in their tight corsettes and top hats. Yes, morality and morale always beefy subject matter and bringing the good forward and learning from past generations is the great hope. 'The Great Gatsby' is one of the few books that just had to be put on film. Now Mike, you have given me a list of books and authors to search and this is yet another,😊 did you include pictures of your characters?

Is the novel somewhat of a response to The Great Gatsby? Just wondering!
