Summary

This quote challenges the conventional perception of the "Lost Generation" by suggesting that their label is often romanticized, whereas the reality was more tragic. The phrase "Lost Generation" refers to the disillusioned and directionless individuals who emerged from World War I and faced a sense of disconnection and existential crisis. This explanation implies that rather than romanticizing their experience, it is important to acknowledge the genuine struggles and aimlessness faced by this generation, highlighting the tragedy within their collective journey.
