Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.
Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.
If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.
The famous homage to Sarah Bernhardt poster of 1896 by Alphonse Mucha, friend of Bernhardt and leading artist of the new Art Nouveau movement.— kingscross
I spent two days in the Mucha museum in Prague when it was too cold to do anything else…and also because he did these large scale paintings of “slavic struggle” and I felt I should probably get into my heritage. But I liked his Paris posters the best.
