I’m really interested in that, in who is going to go down with the ship, and who is going to find a new way of being? And New York… New York because it is the center of everything. Why 1929? Why NYC?Īs with THE LUXE, BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS is set at the end of an era, although the characters don’t really know that their way of living (strict morality for the Gilded Age, anything goes giddy speculation for the Roaring 20s) is coming to an end. And what American writer or reader doesn’t always have Gatsby in the back of their minds?Ĭordelia and Letty pretty much throw caution to the wind and head for NYC in search of a new life (and more). In a way, the 1920s follows the Gilded Age, but in another way it turns it on its head. I wanted to do another series, and I wanted it to be new and different, but also to be a logical extension of the themes from THE LUXE. Was the concept of BYTs born because The Luxe series was coming to an end, or was it always swimming around somewhere?
