“Flapper Fiction and Flapper Authors of the 1920s”
November 16, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Description
The PMA and Experience UWF Downtown Lecture Series present ‘Flapper Fiction and Flapper Authors of the 1920s’ Author Talk with David M. Earle on Thursday, November 16th.
Reception opens at 5 pm. Talk begins at 6 pm.
Book Signing from 7-7:30 pm.
Vivacious, charming, and irreverent, the flapper is a girl who knows how to have a roaring good time while simultaneously assailing the norms of society. She’s both a glittering object of delight and a woman embracing a newfound independence. Join UWF’s Professor David Earle as he discusses flapper authors of the 1920s and Where All Good Flappers Go, his recent collection of flapper stories principally sourced from jazz age magazines. The book — the first ever collection dedicated to flapper stories — includes favorite authors such as F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, but also recovers lost female authors published in the pulp magazines of the 1920s.
The Experience UWF Downtown Lecture Series is presented and sponsored by the UWF College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities and the UWF Department of Art and Design. It is also funded in part, by the John C. Pace Symposium Series.
Copies of David M. Earle’s book, Where All Good Flappers Go, will be available for purchase in our Museum Store.
The reception and talk are both free and open to the public. Seating is limited, please reserve your seat in advance!
