Where All Good Flappers Go

All Good Flappers ... deftly reconsiders the relationship of modernist to modernism, and demonstrates how F. Scott Fitzgerald's and others' work is a part of a wider modernist impulse... The stories provide a compelling overview of the ways in which the flapper figure evolved in the popular Black and white press ... ultimately creating the new genre of flapper literature. The main strength of this collection is in the breadth of authors represented: so-called literary and pulp, well-known and unknown. [They] destroy the old shibboleths of the flapper as a white girl, and they break the walls between the New Negro Renaissance, white modernism, and popular magazine and newspaper culture. -- Michelle E Moore
'An engaging collection' 'One of the volume's most important contributions is including African-American writers as well as stories centring working-class characters, thus revising the reductive identification of the flapper with the white middle-class.' -- Kimberly Chabot Davis
'Some stories are hilarious. Some are thoughtful. Some are sad ... They can be wonderful little bon-bons ... most are chef's kisses.' * Dear Author *
'Lovely, funny, human stories' -- Eric Lee
