Set in 1920s New York, the narrative follows Paul Moody, whose mundane life transforms upon meeting the enigmatic Gunnar O'Grady. As Moody seeks to unravel Gunnar's mystery, the story delves into themes of happiness and self-identity through a diverse cast of humorous and poignant characters. This long-unprinted novel, first published in 1925, captures the excesses of the Jazz Age and provides a unique perspective on the era's recklessness. It is expected to resonate with both new readers and literary scholars, enriching the understanding of Van Vechten's work.
