1922年，被埃兹拉·庞德称为新时代元年，或现代主义元年。
1922年，詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》和T.S.艾略特的《荒原》面世；菲兹杰拉德选择这一年作为其代表作《了不起的盖兹比》的时空背景。这一年，希区科克执导了他的第一部故事片；康定斯基和克利加入包豪斯；华特·迪斯尼发行他的首部动画短片；奥斯曼帝国崩坍；英国自由主义终结；路易斯·阿姆斯特朗从新奥尔良乘火车到达芝加哥，使爵士乐成为那个时代的最强音；好莱坞革新了功成名就的内涵……这一年，天才云集，群星璀璨。
本书是对1922年的迷人记述，通过作家、艺术家、舞蹈家、设计师、电影制作人、人类学家、哲学家、剧作家、政治家和科学家的日志，揭开了许多现代主义名人之间鲜为人知的联系。他们的作品和生活在1922年的12个月里碰撞交叠，引起了一股革新浪潮，标记了一个新时代的开端。

1922 was called the first year of the New Age by Ezra Pound, or the first year of Modernism.
In 1922, James Joyce's Ulysses and T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land were published. Fitzgerald chose this year as the time and space setting for his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. That year, Hitchcock directed his first feature film; Kandinsky and Klee joined the Bauhaus; Walt Disney releases his first animated short; The collapse of the Ottoman Empire; The end of British liberalism; Louis Armstrong rode the train from New Orleans to Chicago and made jazz the strongest sound of his time. Hollywood has revolutionized what it means to be successful... It was a year of talent and stars.
A fascinating account of 1922, this book uncovers little-known connections between many of the modernist luminaries through the journals of writers, artists, dancers, designers, filmmakers, anthropologists, philosophers, playwrights, politicians, and scientists. Their work and their lives collided over the course of 12 months in 1922, sparking a wave of innovation that marked the beginning of a new era.
