The Splendid Drunken Twenties: Selections from the Daybooks, 1922-1930

Between 1922 and 1930, Carl Van Vechten kept a daily record of his activities. Not exactly diaries, but more than appointment books, the daybooks record his daily comings and goings as well as the alliances, drinking habits, feuds, and affairs of a wide number of luminaries of the period.
