Passati alla storia come "l'età del jazz", gli anni Venti furono, secondo Fernanda Pivano, «il decennio di tutte le proteste e di tutte le rivolte, delle utopie più ottimistiche e delle delusioni più spietate».

Stories about the cup and the lip and the bad penny and the new broom rarely have anything, to do with cups or lips or pennies or brooms. This story Is the exception. It has to do with a material, visible and large-as-life camel's back. Starting from the neck we shall work toward the tail. I want you to meet Mr. Perry Parkhurst...

Il progetto non fu mai attuato, ma di quelle due storie rimangono gli incantevoli protagonisti di due 'vite parallele' che annunciano due tipici eroi 'fitzgeraldiani': il giovane frustrato, segnato irrimediabilmente da una distruttrice presenza femminile, e la 'donna fatale' che distrugge se stessa e gli altri. In ques...
