Length6h 43m
About this audiobook
This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. Carl Van Vechten's iconic 1923 novel, "The Blind Bow-Boy," transports readers to the feverish, incandescent heart of Jazz Age New York, a city electric with social rebellion and shifting mores. Here, against this decadent backdrop, the novel unravels the intricate and often baffling conventions of man-woman relationships. The title itself, a sly allusion to a sightless Cupid, announces the book's purpose: a biting satirical examination of romance where passion and propriety collide in the most amusing and poignant ways. Van Vechten's unflinching exploration of desire and the performance of identity poses provocative questions about the search for connection that resonate with startling clarity a century later. For lovers of acerbic wit and historical fiction that feels audaciously modern, "The Blind Bow-Boy" is more than a novel; it is an essential, wickedly perceptive tour of the timeless comedy and confusion of the human heart.
