Nearly lost after its anonymous publication in 1926 and only recently rediscovered, When Washington Was in Vogue is an acclaimed love story written and set during the Harlem Renaissance. When bobbedhair flappers were in vogue and Harlem was hopping, Washington, D.C., did its share of roaring, too.Davy Carr, a veteran of the Great War and a new arrival in the nations capital, is welcomed into the drawing rooms of the citys Black elite. Through letters, Davy regales an old friend in Harlem with his impressions of race, politics, and the state of Black America as well as his own experiences as an oldfashioned bachelor adrift in a world of alluring modern women.With an introduction by Adam McKible and commentary by Emily Bernard, this novel, a timeless love story wonderfully enriched with the drama and style of one of the most hopeful moments in African American history, is as "delightful as it is significant" (Essence).
