Summary: Paris in the 1920´s was where the geniuses and the genius collector were. Now Kay Boyle has taken the memoir McAlmon published in 1938, revised it, written alternating chapters to it, correcting, sometimes enlarging McAlmon´s candid portraits of the important artistic figures of the day, and adding her own fascinating comments on a never-to-be equalled decade of creativity. The result is a marvelously evocative dialogue between two friends, a haunting counterpoint to a fabulous era, that illuminates this almost legendary time and place in a thoroughly original way.
