111/2020. The tale of prohibition era anti-heroine Babe Gordon who climbs the New York social ladder wrong by wrong, using and discarding the people around her as she ascends.

Not nearly as well written as She Done Him Wrong, mostly because the pacing is less tight and satirical humour absent, but there are passably realistic characters and a functional plot, which includes scrutiny of the racist hypocrisies of white culture (and the contemporary construction of "whiteness" as a category).

A book for readers who can't get enough pre-war pulp fiction written from an anti-heroine's point of view. ( )
