Review:
"The 1920s' distinctive cultural creation, the celebrity, is the real star of this gallery of famous New Yorkers. . . . Take Fanny Brice, then a popular comedienne. She was the inspiration for the hit musical and 1968 movie Funny Girl. . . . Others are novelist Anita Loos (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), mobster Lucky Luciano (The Godfather), and a Harlem nightclub (The Cotton Club). . . . Also including figures from journalism, prostitution, politics, music, and dance, Wallace's tome recalls the fizz and biz of 1920s publicity."--Booklist ..".a great summer read." --BoweryBoys.com ..".compelling and appealing.... [an] engaging recounting of the era as personified by some of its most colorful characters." --Sam Roberts, The New York Times "David Wallace anoints 1920s New York the Capital of the World." --Vanity Fair
