A pulse beneath Prohibition-era streets, Against This Age forges a stark, vivid map of a city that refuses to stand still. This is a modernist novel that moves with the rhythm of jazz and the ache of urban bohemian life. Grounded in the swift tempo of 1920s New York, it mirrors the tension between bold experimentation and intimate longing: alienation and decay set against restless invention, as characters push at the boundaries of sexual politics, art, and friendship. The prose is lean, adventurous, and alive to surrealist influences, making the book a compelling study in form as much as in mood. For readers new to the era and for literature students alike, it serves as a potent example of how a novel can be both a social diary and a subjective reckoning. Historically, the work sits among the period's pivotal experiments, tracing the ambitions and limits of modernist peers while broadcasting the era's fear and exhilaration. It rewards casual readers with its atmosphere and characters, and offers a rich touchstone for collectors who value authenticity, provenance, and restored craft. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A desirable book club pick, a literature student resource, and a lasting witness to 1920s New York, jazz age America, and the bold spirit of modernist fiction.
