Description

Moment of Grace tells the story of the American city in its remarkable heyday. Delving into the lived experience of the day, Johns explores the '50s in cities such as New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Oakland. He writes about fashion, nightlife, architecture, literature, business and economic trends, and teenage culture. A rich historical reflection on a singular decade, the book also portrays the '50s as a critical turning point in America's culture and economy and shows us exactly why city life never could or would be the same again.
