  • About the Author

A compulsively readable and sometimes jaw-dropping story of the life of a notorious New York City madam who played hostess to every gangster, politician, writer, sports star and Cafe Society swell worth knowing, and who, as much as any single figure did, helped make the twenties roar--from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Most Famous Man in America. Simply put, everybody came to Polly's. Pearl Polly Adler (1900-1962) was a diminutive dynamo whose Manhattan brothels in the Roaring Twenties became key gathering places where not only did men enjoy the company of women but the culturati and celebrity elite mingled with high society and with violent figures of the underworld--and had a good time doing it.
