Speaking of Prohibition in a 1927 salon debate
In a lively exchange two novelists Fannie Hurst and Alice M Williamson defend and mock Prohibition. Hurst blasts the law as flawed yet argues the public's temperance is a matter of human restraint. Williamson treats Prohibition as social theater and notes American attitudes from New York to England, with anecdotes about bootleggers and daily life under Volstead.
