Terrible Honesty: Mongrel Manhattan in the 1920s Paperback - 1996

by Ann Douglas


From the publisher

Terrible Honesty is the biography of a decade, a portrait of the soul of a generation - based on the lives and work of more than a hundred men and women. In a strikingly original interpretation that brings the Jazz Age to life in a wholly new way, Ann Douglas arugues that when, after World War I, the United States began to assume the economic and political leadership of the West, New York became the heart of a daring and accomplished historical transformation.

First line

On October 7, 1906, in Vienna, Sigmund Freud penned a summons to those thinking of enlisting in the infant army of psychoanalysis: "All those who are able to overcome their own inner resistance to the truth will wish to count themselves among my followers and will cast off the last vestiges of pusillanimity in their thinking."
