Sabrina Fuchs Abrams (2024). New York women of wit in the twentieth century

presents a clear and thorough picture of the richness and diversity of New York cultural worlds in the early to mid-twentieth centurybohemian Greenwich Village; the Algonquin circle; the coteries surrounding various literary magazines; Harlem."New York" in this book is really "Manhattan," and "the twentieth century" is for the most part "between the world wars," but the focus is justified both by the cultural importance of Fuchs Abrams' subjects, and by the book's discussion of the ways the different circles under discussion did and did not overlap and interact.
