Summary: <p>Author and editor Jason Diamond (<a href="https://twitter.com/imjasondiamond">@ImJasonDiamond</a>) joins us to discuss one of the most strikingly modern books of the 1920s, set in the 1870s: Edith Wharton's THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. Deserving of a modern critique on the blissful happiness and absolute despair of New York's Gilded Age, we discuss ostentatious wealth, literary anti-Semitism, and just how badly we miss going to parties.</p> <p>Buy Jason's books: </p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/books/the-sprawl-9781566895828/9781566895828">The Sprawl: Reconsidering the Weird American Suburbs</a></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/books/searching-for-john-hughes-or-everything-i-thought-i-needed-to-know-about-life-i-learned-from-watching-80s-movies/9780062424839">Searching for John Hughes</a></p> <p><u><strong>Follow FBOL:</strong></u></p> <p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/fuckboisoflit">http://www.twitter.com/fuckboisoflit</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.instagram.com/fuckboisoflit">http://www.instagram.com/fuckboisoflit</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.patreon.com/fuckboisoflit">http://www.patreon.com/fuckboisoflit</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fuckboisoflit/message
