"So far, it's blowing my mind. I saw the movie first and became intrigued by the book."

Robin,Give my girl Ursula a go-around (if you haven't already). I swear I walked around for a week, saying words like "marvelous" and calling my friends "darlings". sigh. Too bad my hair's too curly to pull off an authentic flapper bob. I could been a contender..down to the cigarette holder and garters with gun holster (fit for a dainty derringer of course).
Irene,Yes, I've read it. Think it's time for a reread though. :)
And my hair's the same -- but maybe a light marcel, a la Norma Shearer or Kay Francis?
If you like the Roaring 20's, have you seen the PBS series "The House of Elliot"?
re: house of elliot...NO but I'm netflixing now, sight unseen. The "louise brooks" is my fantasy bob...never gonna happen.
Actually the movie was based on the book, because Katherine Ursula Towle a.k.a Ursula Parrott was born in 1900 and died in 1957, so this can't be the first edition of the book. And the movie "The Divorcee" is from 1930.
Thanks for doing the research!
The movie was based on the book. Not the other way around.
I basically said the same thing in my review (http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...) of Dorothy Parker's Collected Poetry! LOL
