Publisher Description: In this English translation by Leanna Brodie, the lives of Parisian artists intersect on the eve of World War as they struggle with the meaning of life and art. On the eve of World War II, in a Parisian caf , Ana s Nin and June Miller meet again after spending years apart. There, they share the space with some of Paris's notorious and eccentric artists who are an orchestra of contrasting voices, reflecting on art and misery, creativity and identity, female sexuality and power. They battle with words and wills, a lingering violence in the air. Inspired by the lives of Nin, Miller, and Antonin Artaud, Catherine L ger explores the language of power and the role of art for its creator and the world around them. |
