The Vanguards is a humorous, nostalgic, and well-researched trek through the various avant-garde generations of the 20th century; that is, the Lost Generation with the Flappers and Bohemians, the Beat Generation with the Beatniks, the Now Generation and the Hippies, and the Blank Generation and the Punks. The four central characters are women from these succeeding generations. They’re joined by several male characters who are absolutely critical to the plot, but it’s still the women who carry the bulk of the story.
From the Left Bank of Paris through the Greenwich Village cafes to Haight Street in San Francisco and the Grunge scene in Seattle, experience the unique adventures and drugged insights of The Vanguards as they forge a revolution in morality, music, and art.
