Welcome to America at the turn of the twentieth century, where the rhythms of ragtime set the beat. Harry Houdini astonishes audiences with magical feats of escape, the mighty J. P. Morgan dominates the financial world and Henry Ford manufactures cars by making men into machines. Emma Goldman preaches free love and feminism, while ex-chorus girl Evelyn Nesbitt inspires a mad millionaire to murder the architect Stanford White. In this stunningly original chronicle of an age, such real-life characters intermingle with three remarkable families, one black, one Jewish and one prosperous WASP, to create a dazzling literary mosaic that brings to life an era of dire poverty, fabulous wealth, and incredible change in short, the era of ragtime.

評分想到哪說到哪。沒列提綱,沒組織語言。 那時候我還年輕。讀瞭幾本狄更斯,便覺得自己有瞭縱橫天下的本錢。 這時候,遇到瞭《泰格拉姆時代》。翻瞭一遍,不知所雲。覺得有點象海明威,但骨子裏卻又完全不一樣。畢竟還是年輕,唯獨記得科爾豪斯是條漢子。 後來,慢慢長大瞭,上...
