What is the setting of Mr. Blue by Myles Connolly?

The setting of the book is in 1928 and 1929. It is an era of prosperity, business achievement, refinement and consumption. The young people of Mr. Blue's generation are, in his opinion, excessive self-restraint and conformist. The book is located primarily in places around New York City and Boston. Mr. Blue is a native Bostonian and quite loyal to the city.
