Did you know Booth Tarkington penned a play about marriage and societal expectations in 1921? The Intimate Strangers explored themes of love and convention in the Jazz Age, blending humor with profound social commentary. (Q131056529) #AmericanLit #RoaringTwenties #BoothTarkington

📽️ Orson Welles (1942)
Un vaudeville shakespearien !
Rondement mené, aux multiples facettes, son côté désuet ne nuit en rien à son atmosphère général.
L’interprétation conserve niveau requis et s’ajuste aisément.

I’ve read the first ever Pulitzer winner now! 1918. I can see why it won but wow did I hate George 😂 he gets better eventually but UGH. (Also 😠 the racism here is in the narrative itself so it’s the author being racist and not just the characters 😒) #TheMagnificentAmbersons #BoothTarkington #Booksky
So I’ve decided to start checking out the Pulitzer Prize winning novels. This one is from 1921, so I really should’ve expected the racism, but still it was jarring. THEN. I watched this film. It’s a pretty faithful adaptation until the completely different ending, wtf. #AliceAdams #BoothTarkington
