Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Albert Bierstadt and John Sloan. Prohibition arrives and America goes dry — so the last men who remember beer form a secret society, and the story of the resistance is told with the straightest face imaginable. Morley was a Rhodes Scholar and a founder of the Saturday Review who made bookishness charming to a generation; he and Haley published this in 1919, the year the Amendment passed, and the prophecy is funnier now than it was then. Fifty-seven plates of theatres, infirmaries and still lifes by painters from Shinn to Munch run alongside the text, a gallery of the era's sober and not-so-sober stages.
