First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Simply put, everybody went to Polly's. Polly Adler (1900 - 1962) was a diminutive dynamo whose Manhattan brothels were more than oases of illicit sex, where men paid top dollar for the company of her girls; they were also swinging salons where the culturati and high society partied with the elite of showbiz, politics, and organized crime -- and had a hell of a time doing it. Polly's pals -- luminaries like Joe DiMaggio, Frank Sinatra, Al Capone, Duke Ellington, Dorthy Parker, Desi Arnaz, and, by her own account, Franklin D. Roosevelt -- made the Jazz Age Roar. No one would've guessed that Polly would become "the first lady of the underworld" when she arrived in America as a thirteen-year-old Russian Jewish immigrant. But her life became a topsy-turvy Horatio Alger tale -- a childhood worthy of Isaac Bashevis Singer, a wild adolescence cut out of a Henry Roth novel, blossoming into a glittering epic of parties and power echoing F. Scott Fitzgerald. Then Polly wrote her own ending penning a memoir that shocked the squares of the 1950s and sold over two million copies. Debby Applegate uses Adler's rip-roaring life to unpack what made this era so corrupt, so glamorous, and so transformational, showing how this riotous collision of high and low gave birth to modern American culture. Doubleday, Hardcover, 1st Edition, 1st Printing, 2021 THIS IS A BRAND NEW BOOK.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The compulsively readable and sometimes jaw-dropping story of the life of a notorious madam who played hostess to every gangster, politician, writer, sports star and Cafe Society swell worth knowing, and who as much as any single figure helped make the twenties roarfrom the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Most Famous Man in America.'A fast-paced tale of ? Polly's many court battles, newspaper headlines, mobster dealings and society gossip? A breathless tale told through extraordinary research." The New York Times Book ReviewSimply put: Everybody came to Polly's. Pearl 'Polly' Adler (1900-1962) was a diminutive dynamo whose Manhattan brothels in the Roaring Twenties became places not just for men to have the company of women but were key gathering places where the culturati and celebrity elite mingled with high society and with violent figures of the underworldand had a good time doing it.As a Jewish immigrant from eastern Europe, Polly Adler's life is a classic American story of success and assimilation that starts like a novel by Henry Roth and then turns into a glittering real-life tale straight out of F. Scott Fitzgerald. She declared her ambition to be 'the best goddam madam in all America' and succeeded wildly. Debby Applegate uses Polly's story as the key to unpacking 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.
