Set against the backdrop of 1920s New York City, the narrative follows Anthony Patch, a self-proclaimed aesthete, and his stunning wife, Gloria, as they indulge in a lavish lifestyle filled with extravagance and aimless pursuits. Their lives revolve around the anticipation of inheriting Anthony's grandfather's wealth, leading to reckless spending and a superficial existence. The novel explores themes of ambition, decadence, and the disillusionment of the American Dream during the Jazz Age.
