Il fallait une de ces soirees dechainees du Paris des Annees folles, comme Fritz Lewis, riche dilettante americain, et son epouse Sibylle aiment a en organiser avec tout l'avant-garde, pour que Guillaume, le narrateur, rencontre Lily. C'est le coup de foudre. Ne aux Etats-Unis d'un pere francais. Guillaume se laisse vivre en rescape desabuse d'une guerre faite trop jeune. Lily, Anglaise de la haute societe, paie des imprudences de jeunesse par un mariage scandaleux avec Looker, homosexuel tapaguer et trafiquant d'art.

Fritz Lewis charge Guillaume d'ouvrir en ete, ce qui ne s'etait jamais fait, l'hotel du Cap d'Antibes pour toute une saison de fete. On y voit passer Francis S. Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, tandis que Picasso regne sur une plage de la Garoupe alors totalement deserte, connait un amour impossible pour Sibylle et realise la les oevres du sommet de sa periode classique. C'est lui qui va aider Lily a changer sa vie, en cet inoubliable ete de 1923.

Pierre Daix, historien d'art et specialiste de Picasso, a deja consacre un recit documentaire a sa jeunesse, "Picasso au Bateau-Lavoir." Il nous entraine ici dans le roman d'une des periodes les plus troublantes et les moins connues de la maturite du peintre.
