Algonquin Round Table gig; assembly to beat the gums
Victorian idea of; decency is hypocritical
Victorians afraid to lose ethics
To a generation no longer
Preoccupied with approval
What’s eating you Lost Generation?
The Red Scare and Sacco and Vanzetti?
McCarthyism and Palmer Raids?
Hemmingway was double-crossed?
Feelings of alienation; a sense of rebellion
Amongst French expatriates; and American literary men
Live and write between the wars
Freedom of thought and action
Prohibition and intolerance
Snuffing out like a wet blanket
Confusing us with Anarchists
Due to our rebellious frank views
Fear of communist socialists
Had us left holding the bag
