A Realistic Novel

Firecrackers: A Realistic Novel (1925) is a novel by Carl Van Vechten. Published in the same year as F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Anita Loos' Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Van Vechten's novel has been recognized as an important document of the Jazz Age, a decade of bohemian excess and artistic experimentation that changed the shape of American and European culture.

Über den Autor


James Stevens (1892-1971) was an American author and composer. Born in Iowa, he was raised in Idaho at the logging camps of the Pacific Northwest. Returning from the First World War, Stevens worked at sawmills and as a logger in the forests of Oregon before leading an itinerant lifestyle throughout the West and Midwest. At public libraries, he conducted his own research on the logging industry and conservation, which influenced his novels and songs as well as earned him a position as director of public relations for the Western Lumberman's Association. His novels Paul Bunyan (1925) and Mattock (1927) earned him a reputation as a leading folklorist of the early twentieth century, and his songs, including The Frozen Logger, have been recorded and sung by such artists as Jimmie Rodgers, the Weavers, and Bob Weir.
