Naked At The Feast

the biography of Josephine Baker

Plot

'A biography of distinction, written with a graceful style rarely accorded to a show-biz subject' - Evening Standard 'An exciting close-up view of a magnificent artists and very courageous woman' - She Magazine Josephine Baker was the very essence of Paris in the riotous 20s. Hemingway danced cheek to cheek with her, proclaiming her to be the most sensational woman anyone had ever seen; Picasso painted her, Colette sent her fan letters; her name was linked with Mussolini, de Gaulle, Peron, Castro, Tito and the Pasha of Marrakesh. In this intimate and spell-binding biography, Lynn Haney uncovers the story of this remarkable and outrageous woman and the extraordinary figures in her circle. This is the story of a remarkable woman in a truly remarkable era.
