Chin Music : A Novel of the Jazz Age
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Drawn with exquisite detail and told in a voice that recalls the stylish gossip of the Flapper, Paul Levitt's debut novel will entertain readers with its uncanny evocation of an era when the fangster held a place of celebrity and a teenage girl could be his unwitting collaborator.
From the Publisher
Paul M. Levitt is Professor of English and former Head of the Writing Program at the University of Colorado in Boulder. This background informs his novel, which begins with an allusion to William Butler Yeats (repeated in mid-course) and ends with an allusion to Walt Whitman - two poets whose lives roughly span those of the two generations prominently portrayed in the novel. The title, Chin Music, is flapper slang for gossip, and the setting is the Roaring Twenties world of gangsters and molls.
