Bright Young People: The Lost Generation of London's Jazz Age by D.J. Taylor

4.0

I found this intriguing, entertaining, thought-provoking and generally interesting, even though it's been more than ten years since I read any nonfiction, and I found the general language construction occasionally difficult, and the author's vocabulary a little self-indulgent. Self-indulgence seems an apposite decision when dealing with this topic and these people, though, so I can hardly mark him down for it.

An interesting look at the birth of "just because" modern celebrity - or rather, the metamorphosis from high society to celebrity society. Amazing how things stay the same.
