Parker includes concrete or detailed descriptions of physical settings, contributing to an atmosphere of haziness, malaise, and passivity that stands in contrast to the idea of 1920s, New York as vital and stimulating. The world is the dynamic.... the "roaring twenties," a world composed of poker games and nights out on the town.
