The American Dream in the Jazz Age The action of the novel takes place in a geographically small part of the Northeast – specifically the area in and around New York City. But the novel is about America as a whole – particularly the America of the early 20th century.

The building had a Chicago-type feel with brick walls‚ and exposed ducts and pipes; super laid back. The south end of the building away from the restaurant and main bar is where the Jazz concert was held. This room was a swanky
