2021 Reprint of the 1925 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Loos’ classic is a comic novel that follows the escapades and dalliances of a young blonde flapper in New York City and Europe. It is one of several novels exploring the hedonistic Jazz Age published that year that have become famous-including F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Carl Van Vechten’s Firecrackers. Although dismissed by critics as 'too light in texture to be very enduring,' Loos’ book was a runaway best seller and printed throughout the world in over thirteen different languages, including Chinese. By the time of Loos’ death in 1981, the work had been printed in over 85 editions and had been adapted into a popular comic strip, a 1926 silent comedy, a 1949 Broadway musical, and a 1953 film adaptation of the latter musical. The book earned the praise of many writers including Edith Wharton who dubbed it 'the great American novel.'
