You could read Anthony Powell’s Dance to the Music of Time novels – similar feel and if you like them, there are 12 books. Only the first two are set in the 20s, though – they follow the narrator and his social circle up to the 1960s. Similar feel of the rich British upper classes often behaving badly but entertainingly.

*Decline and Fall* by the same author is very similar to Vile bodes, but *Brdeshead Revisited* is his best work by miles
Different people, different city but *A Moveable Feast* by Hemingway is about his days in Paris on the 1920. He hung out with Scott and Zelda Fitzgerals, Gertude Stein and her artist friends, James Joyce, and lots of other artists, writers and intellectuals
