Scott Fitzgerald, and John Steinbeck, in a volume that includes reproduced artwork and archive photographs.

From Herman Melville to F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck to George Plimpton, these are just a few of the gifted figures to draw inspiration from this famous and fashionable retreat. Richly illustrated with archival photos and reproductions of the artists' work,Hamptons Bohemia chronicles the evolution of a community and the colorful characters who have inhabited it.
