Description
Booth Tarkington wrote The Flirt as a novel of a small city's best street and the folk who live on it. Valentine Corliss walks home at the start after years away.
Corliss Street bears his grandfather's name and ranks as the town's Fifth Avenue. On the hottest day of August, Corliss notes how the calm old street has changed: gasoline cars, wild new house styles, and a restless air. Tarkington draws a home town caught between old pride and new wealth, where a famed flirt holds court and a returned son must find his place again.
