The Roaring Twenties was a period of literary creativity, and works of several notable authors appeared during the period. D. H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover was a scandal at the time because of its explicit descriptions of sex.
Books that take the 1920s as their subject include:
* The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is often described as the epitome of the "Jazz Age" in American literature.
* All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque recounts the horrors of WWI and also the deep detachment from German civilian life felt by many men returning from the front.
* This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays the lives and morality of post-World War I youth.
* The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway is about a group of expatriate Americans in Europe during the 1920s.
