Answer 5

You're in luck! I happen to be studying a course right now in American Literature and Mass Culture, and have read some amazing books that take place in the 1920s and 1930s:
The Day of the Locust by Nathanael West takes place in 1929 in Hollywood, and is primarily about crowd psychology and degradation. They Shoot Horses, Don't They? by Horace McCoy takes place in 1933 in Malibu, and is about a dance marathon (don't let the subject betray you, it's actually realllly good!), and In Dubious Battle by John Steinbeck which is about the revolt of fruit pickers in California (but he wrote it BEFORE The Grapes of Wrath, which is also a good one for your category!).

Any books about World War I or the Great Depression. Most books by F. Scott Fitzgerald, also some by Edna Ferber or William Faulkner.

USA trilogy by John Dos Passos
Nick Adams stories by Ernest Hemingway

Answer 10

The books on site below actually take place from 1930's all the way up to the 60's. Even though on a small farm in Canada I am told it reflects the same situations during these times in the USA. On purpose no towns are mentioned so could have taken place anywhere. All from true stories. Hope this is of help.
