[from jacket flaps] While a schoolboy in Paris from 1911 to 1914, Morrill Cody witnessed the demise of the Belle Epoque, that brief interlude of elegance and charm that ushered in the calamitous new century. The Paris he returned to after World War I was seething with unrest, change, and artistic fervor. He became a member of the burgeoning international colony of writers, artists, and composers who in the twenties converged on Montparnasse and made it one of the world's most active centers of creativity. His account of that remarkable place and the generation of creators who lived and worked there derived from his activities as journalist, writer, and diplomatic officer, as well as from his intimate friendships with the celebrated and not-so-celebrated figures of the era, forms a rich tapestry of evocative observations. In The Women of Montparnasse Cody demonstrates that the artistic and social life of the Left Bank was largely organized, directed, and nourished by resourceful, resolute, and talented women, ranging from the amateur publisher of Ulysses, Sylvia Beach, to the witty, insightful New Yorker correspondent Janet Flanner. Here, too, are Josephine Baker, the ebullient black dancer and singer who mothered a "Rainbow Tribe" of adopted orphans from many countries; Hadley Hemingway, Ernest's shy wife; the gifted teacher Nadia Boulanger, who instructed composers Aaron Copland and Virgil Thomson; Zelda Fitzgerald, for whom Paris was as debilitating as it was for her famous husband; Gertrude Stein, the grand doyenne of Left Bank literary life, and her inseparable companion, Alice B. Toklas; and Duff Twysden, the "original" Lady Brett Ashley, the promiscuous heroine of The Sun Also Rises. Belatedly recognized here are art patronesses Peggy Guggenheim, helpmate to Djuna Barnes and painters Max Ernst and Jackson Pollock, and Natalie Clifford Barney, high priestess of a lesbian colony that included Radclyffe Hall and Romaine Brooks. Also noted are Nancy Cunard, the redoubtable rebel-heiress, avant-garde publisher of Samuel Beckett and defender of black rights, and the intrepid editors of the Little Review, Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap, who introduced Americans to the work of T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Louis Aragon. In evocative portraits of Isadora Duncan, Gala Dali, and the models Kiki, Rosalie, and Carmen, the author captures the glamour, hard work, and successes and failures inherent in the artistic life. Writing with affection, grace, humor, and understanding, Cody brings the women of Montparnasse to life and recreates, with a certitude available only to the participant, the feel and setting of a legendary time and place.
