Omschrijving

In The Garret is a novel written by Carl Van Vechten, first published in 1920. The story follows the life of a young artist named Everett, who lives in a garret apartment in Greenwich Village, New York City. Everett is struggling to make ends meet and pursue his passion for art, while dealing with the challenges of living in poverty. Throughout the novel, Everett interacts with a colorful cast of characters, including his bohemian neighbors, fellow struggling artists, and wealthy patrons of the arts. He falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Lucy, who also happens to be an artist. Their relationship is complicated by their differing social classes and the pressures of their respective careers.As Everett navigates the ups and downs of his artistic pursuits and personal relationships, he grapples with questions of identity, ambition, and the meaning of success. The novel offers a vivid portrayal of life in early 20th-century Greenwich Village, with its vibrant artistic community, social upheavals, and cultural clashes.Overall, In The Garret is a poignant and insightful exploration of the challenges and joys of pursuing one's dreams in the face of adversity.
