À propos de cet e-book
Jazz-age Paris was the center of the artistic and literary world, and the center of the center was Gertrude Stein' s salon, where the famous and aspiring creative talents gathered to gawk at Stein' s Picassos and vie for status. Young Midwesterner Ida Caine arrives in Paris with her husband Teddy, a would-be Hemingway who thinks he can adventure first and write later. When Teddy falls in with the Stein set, he brings Ida to the salon, where she is shunted into a corner with the wives of famous men. She burns with resentment, and wonders if she can ever develop into a real artist herself. A few days later, Gertrude Stein' s partner Alice B. Toklas vanishes. Stein calls upon Teddy to investigate. Soon after, he vanishes. Forced to seek out her missing husband, Ida follows his trail through a milieu including strange Surrealist rituals, Tarot card readings, and the catacombs beneath the city. She falls in with a young American poet, T.S. Eliot. An unlikely passion grows while they seek answers to the shocking disappearances.

Robert Archambeau possesses the world's least interesting international identity: born in Rhode Island and raised in Canada, he spent summers in Maine or at his father's art studio in the Canadian wilderness.

He fell in with a group of poets and began writing poetry, scholarly studies of literature, and art criticism.
