and women all in a search for
happiness and meaning in life
• Work conveys a sense of loss, and
meaninglessness of life
• Examples of Lost Generation works
– T.S. Elliot The Waste Land
– F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby
F.S. Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night
"This land here cost twenty lives a foot that
summer...See that little stream--we could
walk to it in two minutes. It took the British
a month to walk it--a whole empire walking
very slowly, dying in front and pushing
forward behind. And another empire walked
very slowly backward a few inches a day,
leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs.
No Europeans will ever do that again in this
generation."
Uhhh… I sure hope he’s right…
