Constellation of Genius: 1922: Modernism and All That Jazz by Kevin Jackson

beeeeonka's review

2.0

So disappointed by this book. 2 Stars simply because I couldn’t stand the execution. The short notes of the “day by day” blows of 1922 just didn’t work. It limited the writing style meaning there was excessive footnoting on most pages which broke the flow. It was difficult to follow the narrative because of this as well, meaning someone may have been mentioned briefly at the start and then not again until near the end. It was obviously well researched and there was a lot that happened in 1922 to warrant this book, but the execution just didn’t work.
