Post, Emily. Parade, A Novel of New York Society. Second Printing. 1925. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition—owner’s name is written on flyleaf, and jacket shows a few minor chips and repaired tears.
From the vantage point of 1922, Emily Post was not an etiquette maven who wrote novels; she was a novelist who wrote an etiquette book. And, following that book’s extraordinary success, she returned to fiction with this book. It is obscure today, but when it was originally released, it earned raves from Katherine Anne Porter, who found this novel to be “etiquette in action” in the world that Post knew best, New York society. It is a novel of two generations, in which the older one is bewildered by the Jazz Age antics of the younger.
