Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Eloquent if a bit brash
I picked this up because I enjoy Frank's voice. The essays in this collection-- written to his "peers" in an attempt to explain America at his time definitely show a nice range. Frank occasionally writes so boldly that it can turn one off of the work, but in the last few essays, esp. New York, he hits his stride and writes some beautiful, flawless essays that perfectly define his times-- just before America's cultural explosion in the 20's-- and still hold true today.
