Constellation of Genius

In Constellation of Genius, Kevin Jackson explores the transformative year of 1922, a pivotal moment in modernist literature marked by the publication of James Joyce's Ulysses and T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Set against a backdrop of unprecedented innovation across various fields—ranging from film and music to science and art—the narrative examines the lives and works of influential figures such as Alfred Hitchcock and Louis Armstrong. Jackson invites listeners to consider whether this surge of creativity was a result of inevitability or mere coincidence, making for an engaging exploration of a year that forever altered the cultural landscape.
