Descriere magazin:
From the author of Henry and Clara , a dazzling, hilarious novel that captures the heart and soul of New York in the Jazz Age. Bandbox is a hugely successful magazine, a glamorous monthly cocktail of 1920s obsessions from the stock market to radio to gangland murder. Edited by the bombastic Jehoshaphat "Joe" Harris, the magazine has a masthead that includes, among many others, a grisly, alliterative crime writer; a shy but murderously determined copyboy; and a burned-out vaudeville correspondent who\'s lovesick for his loyal, dewy assistant. As the novel opens, the defection of Harris\'s most ambitious prot g has plunged Bandbox into a death struggle with a new competitor on the newsstand. But there\'s more to come: a sabotaged fiction contest, the NYPD vice squad, a subscriber\'s kidnapping, and a film-actress cover subject who makes the heroines of Fosse\'s Chicago look like the girls next door. While Harris and his magazine careen from comic crisis to make-or-break calamity, the novel races from skyscraper to speakeasy, hops a luxury train to Hollywood, and crashes a buttoned-down dinner with Calvin Coolidge. Thomas Mallon has given us a madcap and poignant book that brilliantly portrays the gaudiest American decade of them all. About the Author Thomas Mallon is the author of the novels Henry and Clara, Dewey Defeats Truman , and Two Moons; In Fact , a collection of essays; and the nonfiction books Stolen Words, A Book of One\'s Own , and Mrs. Paine\'s Garage . A frequent contributor to The Atlantic Monthly , The New Yorker , and other magazines, he lives in Washington, D.C.
