Carl
Van Vechten
and Other Writings about Music and
Musicians
(ISBN 9781595690708)
Selected, edited, and with a Preface by
Bruce Kellner
Carl Van Vechten was first to offer serious assessments of the music of
Igor Stravinsky, Erik Satie, George Gershwin, and the operas of Richard
Stauss. He wrote the earliest study in America of the music of Spain.
He was first to advocate musical scores for movies. He contended that
ragtime and jazz were the only uniquely American music, at a time when
they were dismissed or ignored by other critics. More...

The long-unprinted novel is considered an
authentic portrait of the 1920s and explores the eternal search for happiness
First published in 1925, the novel centers
around a wide cast of characters whose lives are irrevocably changed by
the mysterious Gunnar O'Grady in 1920s New York. Though, like most Van Vechten
novels, there is more than actually meets the eye.
"Of the four (out of seven) novels that deal directly with what he
called 'the splendid drunken twenties'
in New York, Firecrackers was published at the heart of the
period and comes closest to depicting the Jazz
Age in all its variety." More... |
