Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"I believe in the flapper as an artist in her particular field, the art of being - being young, being lovely." -- Zelda Fitzgerald

A sparkling new collection of "flapper fiction" stories featuring the iconic women who defined the Jazz Age

Edited and introduced by David M. Earle

Vivacious, charming, irreverent, the flapper is a girl who knows how to have a roaring good time.

In this collection of short stories, she's a partygoer, a socialite, a student, a shopgirl, and an acrobat. She bobs her hair, shortens her skirt, searches for a husband and scandalises her mother. She's a glittering object of delight, and a woman embracing a newfound independence.

Bringing together stories from widely adored writers and newly discovered gems, principally sourced from the magazines of the period, this collection is a celebration of the outrageous charm of an iconic figure of the Jazz Age.

This fabulous collection includes:

- Zelda Fitzgerald "What Became of the Flapper"- Dana Ames "The Clever Little Fool"- F. Scott Fitzgerald "Bernice Bobs her Hair"- Rudolph Fisher "Common Meter"- John Watts "Something For Nothing"- Dorothy Parker "The Mantle of Whistler"- Katherine Brush "Night Club"- Gertrude Schalk "The Chicago Kid"- Dawn Powell "Not the Marrying Kind"- Vina Delmar "Thou Shalt Not Killjoy"- Guy Gilpatric "The Bride of Ballyhoo"- Anita Loos "Why Girls Go South"- Zora Neale Hurston "Monkey Junk"
