| 520 | |a Everybody came to Polly's. Pearl "Polly" Adler was a diminutive dynamo whose Manhattan brothels in the Roaring Twenties became places not just for men to have the company of women. They were key gathering places where the culturati and celebrity elite mingled with high society and with violent figures of the underworld-- and had a good time doing it. As a Jewish immigrant from eastern Europe, Adler's life is a classic American story of success and assimilation. She declared her ambition to be "the best goddam madam in all America" and succeeded wildly. Applegate shows just what made the 1920s the appallingly corrupt yet glamorous and transformational era that it was, and how the collision between high and low is the unique ingredient that fuels American culture. -- adapted from jacket | ||
