A richly imagined & stunningly inventive literary masterpiece of love, art, & betrayal, exploring the genesis of evil, the unforeseen consequences of love, & the ultimate unreliability of storytelling itself. Paris in the 1920s shimmers with excitement, dissipation, & freedom. It is a place of intoxicating ambition, passion, art, & discontent, where louche jazz venues like the Chameleon Club draw expats, artists, libertines, & parvenus looking to indulge their true selves. It is at the Chameleon where the striking Lou Villars, an extraordinary athlete & scandalous cross-dressing lesbian, finds refuge among the club`s loyal denizens, including the rising Hungarian photographer Gabor Tsenyi, the socialite & art patron Baroness Lily de Rossignol; & the caustic American writer Lionel Maine. As the years pass, their fortunes-and the world itself-evolve. Lou falls desperately in love & finds success as a race car driver. Gabor builds his reputation with startlingly vivid & imaginative photographs, including a haunting portrait of Lou & her lover, which will resonate through all their lives. As the exuberant twenties give way to darker times, Lou experiences another metamorphosis-sparked by tumultuous events-that will warp her earnest desire for love & approval into something far more. ...
