American Moderns

More about the book

Set in early twentieth-century New York City, the narrative explores a vibrant community of artists and intellectuals drawn to the city's immigrant neighborhoods. These individuals, embracing identities as Bohemians and avant-garde members, sought to engage in a cultural revolution rather than pursue wealth. They thrived in an environment rich with art, poetry, and lively cafes, where they could experiment with the innovative and unconventional aspects of a burgeoning American identity.
