Thomas Quinn Curtiss has reunited George Jean Nathan with his cohort H.L. Mencken together with the rest of their set: Theodore Dreiser Sherwood Anderson Edmund Wilson Sean O'Casey F. Scott Fitzgerald Alfred Knopf Jack London and Somerset Maugham. The magnificent abandon of their enterprise and the hard drinking Bohemian wisdom of their writing propelled them and fueled generations of readers with their wit and philosophy. This is a biography of an era of men whose stories could only be written by an eyewitness.
