Here, Robert Benchley, a Vanity Fair editor, became a stage and screen comedian. Jane Grant pressed husband Harold Ross into starting The New Yorker. Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman collaborated on hit shows. Critic Alexander Woollcott, hub of the group, introduced Harpo Marx to his friends. Herman Mankiewicz saw it all and put it into his screenplay for Citizen Kane. Relive the heady days of the Vicious Circle, and discover their homes, hangouts, and haunts. See where the speakeasies once stood and The New Yorker began. Featuring detailed area maps and packed with rare images—including never-before-published material—this richly illustrated guide brings the Jazz Age to life. Use it to retrace the footsteps of the legendary wits of the Round Table, and you’ll find that the golden age of Gotham still surrounds us.
