"Sweet Short Life" is a literary work that embodies the spirit of the "great depression" era in the United States of America.

The novel tells the story of Jem Carroway, a young man striving to break into a world of wealth and success. Events are unfolding in 1920s New York City, a time of the "jazz era," when America was experiencing an economic upswing and a cultural revolution.

Jem Carroway begins his journey to the pinnacles of public success with a small newspaper in the province and soon moves to New York to try out for the world of big newspapers and journalism. He is ambitious, committed and willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

However, his ambitions lead to moral decay, and his desire for success faces moral dilemmas. Jam becomes involved in complex relationships with women, experiences alcohol and drugs, and his life becomes a complete maelstrom of debauchery and indifference.
