What It Felt Like

by Henry Allen
PRMS hardcover, 158 pages

When I saw this in the colletion, I was curious. I'm not much of a history buff, but this stream-of-consciousness book interested me. Some of the references went right over my head, but many made sense. It definitely gave me the sense of each era (American decades from 1900-2000). One thing that struck me was the 1920s being such a jaded, lawless time. At times, it seems as though the modern era invented apathy and evil. Of course, that simply isn't true. I was eager to get to the decades I've lived through to see how much the text resonated for me. It was interesting . . . and definitely told through one person's lens.
