«La Littérature Art Déco» is Michel Collomb's essay on Art Déco literature, published by Klincksieck in paperback (241 pages, in French).
It analyses whether the 1920s created a literary style of their own, comparable to the Art Déco of the decorative arts. It traces affinities between French and German authors (Cocteau, Cendrars, Morand, Thomas Mann) and studies how new technologies and mass culture transformed writing, proposing the period style as a key to reading.
Published in 1987, the work includes a bibliography (pp. 229-234) and an index.
For those interested in comparative literature, 20th-century aesthetic movements and the relationship between literature and mass culture.
