Genêt - A biography of Janet Flanner  -  Brenda Wineapple

KORTE INHOUD

For fifty years, under the pen-name of Genêt, Janet Flanner described with matchless elegance political, artistic, and social life of Paris after the First World War. She knew and saw everone and everything, from Edith Wharton to Ernest Himingway, from Charles Lindbergh's landing to Josephine Baker's debut. She wrote of the culture, the celebrities, the scandals of Paris and the wider Europe, and profiled de Gaulle, Picasso, Malraux, Mann and Hitler, for her 'New Yorker' readers.
In Paris the American-born Flanner found the freedom to live and love as she chose, and her personal life was as passionate and complex as her public one.
