  • The Wild Years: 1920's Paris and the Lost Generation

    The world was broken. They put it together in a whole new way.

    They’d lived through the most destructive war in history. They’d survived a global pandemic. They’d watched the old guard face the challenges of a new age. They’d seen it fail.

    While the rest of the world tried to return to normal, the brightest young minds of their generation rejected the past and determined to start over. Art, literature, music, life, love, sex, drugs, politics—everything needed to be questioned, challenged, remade.
