Book one. Anthony Patch -- Portrait of a siren -- The connoisseur of kisses -- Book two. The radiant hour -- Symposium -- The broken lute -- Book three. A matter of civilization -- A matter of aesthetics -- No matter!
Anthony and Gloria are the essence of Jazz Age glamour. A brilliant and magnetic couple, they fling themselves at life with an energy that is thrilling. New York is a playground where they dance and drink for days on end. Their marriage is a passionate theatrical performance; they are young, rich, alive and lovely and they intend to inherit the earth. But as money becomes tight, their marriage becomes impossible. And with their inheritance still distant, Anthony and Gloria must grow up and face reality; they may be beautiful but they are also damned.
