Yet everywhere there is the premonition of ruin - the number 13 is. Kafka falls in love Louis Armstrong learns to play the trumpet a young seamstress called Coco Chanel opens her first boutique Charlie Chaplin signs his first movie contract and new drugs like cocaine usher in an age of decadence. The stuffy conventions of the nineteenth century are receding into the past, and 1913 heralds a new age of unlimited possibility.
A witty yet moving narrative worked up from sketched biographical fragments, 1913 is an intimate vision of a world that is about to change forever.
